Text:
As you know, London stands on the river Thames. London, the capital of Great Britain, is a very old city. It is two thousand years old. Many years ago London was a small town on the Thames. Now London is a big port and a beautiful city with large squares and parks. About 8 million people live here. London is one of the biggest cities in the world. The Thames is not a long river. The English people call it “The Father of London”. London began on the Thames.
And now we start our tour from Tower Bridge. Tower Bridge is the only Thames bridge, which can be raised. If you want to see London the best place to go is The Eye. London Eye is a big wheel on the river Thames. The Eye is very popular. Every day 1600 people go to the eye. There are 33 capsules and one ride takes 30 minutes. The Eye is very tall – 133 meters. At the top of the Eye you get a great view of London.
You can see Buckingham Palace. Buckingham Palace is the London home of the kings and queens of Great Britain. Now the Queen Elizabeth lives there. When the flag is flying on the top, she is at home. Buckingham Palace has 600 rooms, a swimming pool, a cinema, a ballroom and a garden.
The Tower of London is a museum now. In the museum you can see many old guns. At 10 o’clock every evening the guards lock the big doors of the Tower for the night.And now we are making our way to the Houses of Parliament. The famous clock Big Ben stands near the Houses of Parliament.
Go for a walk to St. James Park or to Hyde Park. Hyde Park is the famous park in London. Londoners can walk and run in the park, eat their sandwiches, talk, sunbathe, read books and enjoy music. There are no signs like "Do not walk on the grass". In the park anyone can stand up and say what they want. It is a very democratic park.
