I wish I were in London now. If I were
there I would organize an excursion
and would give you a good idea about
this wonderful city.
As we know, London is the capital of
Great Britain and one of the largest
industrial and cultural centers in
Europe.
I suppose you will share the opinion
that in this historic city modern rules
shoulders with the old, the present
arises from the past, the great and the
small live side by side in mutual
tolerance and respect and in every part
of its noisy and complex life there is to
be found a great affection for old
traditions and history.
I don’t know if you have had a
possibility to visit this exciting city but
I insist that you should do it. And I will
give a piece of advice how to plan your
tour of the city.
The best starting point for all the
excursions is well known Trafalgar
square with Nelson’s Column in the
center. The square was named to
commemorate the victory of British
vice-admiral Nelson at the battle of
Trafalgar in 1805 and the Column is
surmounted with his statue. I have
managed to see this monument and it
has made a great impression on me.
Then I recommend you to see the
Houses of Parliament on the north
bank of the river Thames. It also has
another name – the Palace of
Westminster - as in the past here lived
kings and queens.
This ensemble is a remarkable example
of Gothic architecture: the buildings
seem to be directed high into the air
and of course are worth seeing. And
here you will find the famous Clock
Tower, called “Big Ben”.
The next stop is Westminster Abbey. It
is a big church and a national shrine, a
place, where English kings and queens
are crowned and famous people are
buried. It’s well known for its’ Poets’
Corner with memorials to English poets
and writers who were buried here.
Everybody has heard about Saint Paul’s
Cathedral. It is the largest Protestant
Church in England and a remarkable
architectural masterpiece. It contains
the unique Whispering Gallery where
you can hear the whisper of the person,
standing at the other end of the gallery.
And at the end you should see the
majestic and dreary Tower of London,
which has an abundant history. It was
one of the first and most impressive
castles built after the Norman invasion
of England in the 11th century. It has
been used as a royal palace, an
observatory, and arsenal and, finally,
as a state prison. And now it’s a
museum where you can see the Crown
Jewels - the finest precious stones of the
English nation and a great collection of
armour.
No doubt that in London there are
many other sights – Tate Gallery, City,
Hyde Park and others, and everyone
will find a preference according to his
taste.
You should only remember that in this
city you will get fresh impressions, take
great delight in viewing monuments
and discover the history of England.
I think it necessary that every person
should visit London!
