Elvis Presley, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Marilyn Monro, Michael Jackson, Charlie Chapling, the British Royal Family, Bill Clinton etc. There is no other place in the world where you can see all the celebrities at once, even if they are only wax figures. The museum is situated in Marylebone Road, not far from the street, which is famous as the home of the first great detective in fiction of Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes. The wax figures are standing and sitting and sometimes even moving and talking. They are extremely realistic.

Teacher: Very interesting information. In a moment you will see Oxford Street. This is our second stop. Who will be the guide here?

Guide 2: Oxford Street is the main London street of Westminster. It is the most crowded street, there are about 548 shops. Oxford street is a favorite and most popular place not only for London, but also for European fashion lovers. Every day thousands of tourists and locals come to the busiest street in order to buy new clothes or just look at the fashionable trends. Shopping street stretches almost 3 kilometers to the East and turns itself into an endless Paradise.

Teacher: Thank you very much. Our next stop is Big Ben. Who is ready to tell us something about this beautiful sight of interest?

Guide 3: Big Ben is one of the most popular places of interest in London and symbols of England. Every year many people visit the capital of Great Britain to see it and take some photos with it in the background. It is thought that Big Ben is a high tower with a very big clock, but that’s not really true. Big Ben is the huge bell inside the building. Its weight is about thirteen tons and it rings every hour daily: once at one o'clock, twice at two o'clock and so on. However, people who live near the tower can hear at New Year’s Night how the bell strikes thirteen. It’s considered to be the biggest bell ever made in the country.

Teacher: Thank you very much. Let us go to the Houses of Parliament. We’ll have the next stop there. Who will be the guide at the Houses of Parliament?

Guide 4: The Houses of Parliament in London, also known as the Palace of Westminster, is the place where members of Parliament (M.P.s) gather to make laws. The sittings usually begin at 10 o'clock in the morning and end in the late afternoon. When Parliament is in session, a flag can be seen over the building. The Palace of Westminster stands on the riverside near Westminster Abbey. Tourists always go to see them.

Teacher: Your story is interesting, thank you very much. But we need to go on our trip. Our next stop is near the London Eye.

Guide 5: The London Eye is a Ferris wheel on the South Bank of the River Thames in London. It is Europe's tallest observation wheel, and is the most popular tourist attraction in the United Kingdom with over 3 million visitors every year. One circle takes about 30 minutes. It does not usually stop to take on passengers; the wheel moves slow enough to allow passengers to walk on and off the moving capsules.

Teacher: Our next sight is Tower Bridge. Look at it.

Guide 6: Tower Bridge is one of the unique and amazing sights of England. Tower Bridge was built at the end of the 19th century to match the medieval style of the fortress. This bridge is opened to let big ocean ships move up the Thames from the ocean. Total length of the bridge is 244 metres. The height of the bridge is 65 metres.

Teacher: Thanks a lot for your information. The next stop is Buckingham Palace.

Guide 7: Buckingham Palace is the residence of the Queen of England. This is a beautiful building which stands in large gardens. It is situated in the center of the city. It’s the London home of the kings and queens. It’s also the place where presidents, kings and politicians come to meet the Queen of England, Elizabeth the Second. Palace is like a small town with a police station, two post offices, a bar, two sports clubs, a disco, a cinema and a swimming pool. There are 600 (six hundred) rooms here and three miles of red carpet. Two men work full-time to look after 300 (three hundred) clocks. About 700 (seven hundred) people work in the palace. 

Teacher: Very interesting! Let’s move to the next stop, Westminster Abbey.

Teacher: Very interesting place, I have to say. Who will be the guide at The Sherlock Holmes Museum?

Guide 9: In The Sherlock Holmes’ Museum you step back a hundred years in time. It is unique. You have a feeling as if the great detective had just left the room for a moment with Dr. Watson, and Mrs. Hudson is somewhere in the backrooms, and you’ll see her entering the room with a tray of tea cups. Everything in the museum reminds us of the stories we know so well. You can sit in Holmes’s armchair by the fireplace, you can examine his things.

Teacher: Your story is very interesting, thank you. I want to say, that London is rich in Art Museums and Picture Galleries. One of them is National Gallery situated at Trafalgar Square.
