Гід запроіиує гостей до автобусу провести екскурсію по визначних місцях Лондона.

Dear guests. You are welcome to the bus. We’ll have an excursion about London.I’ll tell you a few words about it.

London is the capital of Great Britain. More than six million people live in London. London lies on both banks of the river Thames. It is the largest city in Europe and one of the largest cities in the world.

London is not only the capital of the country, it is also a very big port, one of the greatest commercial centres in the world: a university city, and the seat of the government of Great Britain. The most important parts of London are: the City, the West End, the East End and Westminster.

The City is the busiest part of  London. People do business there. Only about ten thousand people live there.

The West End is the richest part of London. You can find the best shops, theatres, cinemas, museums, fine parks and squares there. Its houses and streets are the finest in the capital.

The rich people live in thé West End.

The East End is the part of  London-where working people live. It is not so rich as other parts of London and there are fewer parks there.             

Westmiiîsfer Abbey is one of the most beautiful buildings in London. There are many monuments of  great men there. Many great English scientists lie buried there: among them Newton, Darwin and Watt. In the Poets' Corner some of the famous English poets and writers are buried.

We are just coming to the Tower of London.

Екскурсовод розповідає гостям про Тауер.

The River Thames is the main approach to London from the east. 1000 years ago William the Conqueror decided to build a strong fortress to protect the City of London, which he had just conquered.

The Tower of London was one of the first and most impressive castles built after the Norman invasion of England in 1066. Since the times of William I various kings have built and extended the Tower of London and used it for many purposes.

 

 

 

 

 The Tower has been used as a royal palace, an observatory, an arsenal, a state prison, and many famous and infamous people have been executed within its walls. It is now a museum. For many visitors the principal attraction is the Crown Jewels, the finest precious stones of the nation. A fine collection of armour is exhibited in the Keep.

The security of the Tower is ensured by a military garrison and by the Yeoman Warders or "Beefeaters" who still wear their picturesque Tudor uniform.

Гості виражають свої почуття.

It’s great. It’s wonderful. I’ve never seen such an interesting place.

Гості зупиняються на Трафальгарській площі.

Trafalgar Square is the natural centre of London. The square was so named to commemorate Nelson's victory at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, and the monument in the centre, known as Nelson's Column, is surmounted with the Statue of Nelson 16 feet high. The pedestal of the Column is decorated with bags-reliefs representing Nelson's most famous victories. At the base of  Nelson's Column are four great lions.

The square has now become a huge traffic island, the statues and fountains have enlivened the space so that it remains a place of pilgrimage for visitors. When the square is not used for demonstrations, it is full of visitors feeding the pigeons or watching the traffic.

On the north side of the square are the National Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery. The National Gallery has an outstanding varied collection of paintings from British, Italian, Spanish , French, Dutch and other famous schools.It is an international rather than,  as it is named, a National Gallery.

 

Автобус під’їжджає до будинку Парламенту.

From the centre of Westminster Bridge, one can have a splendid view of the Houses of Parliament which spread magnificently on the north bank of the Thames. This structure is a remarkable example of Gothic architecture. The Clock Tower, which contains the hour-bell called "Big Ben", is known the world over. The bell is named after Sir Benjamin Hall, the first Commissioner of Works when the Houses of Parliament were rebuilt (in 1850).

Royal Palaces and houses were built along the banks of the Thames in medieval days, because the water was a busy way into and out of London. Thé Houses of Parliament, called officially the Palace of Westminster, were formerly a palace for kings and queens.

Екскурсія проходить у Вестмінстерському Аббатстві.

Westminster Abbey is a national shrine where the kings and queens are crowned and famous people are buried. Founded by Edward the Confessor in 1050, the Abbey was a monastery for a long time. The present building dates largely from the time of Henry III who began to rebuild (the church, a  task which lasted nearly 300 years. The West towers were added in the eighteenth century. Since William I almost every English monarch has been crowned in this great church, which contains the tombs and memorials of many of Britain's most eminent citizens. One of the greatest treasures of the Abbey is the oaken Coronation Chair made in 1300. Near the West Door of the Abbey the Unknown Warrior lies in a simplé grave commemorating the men who died in the First World War. The Abbey is also known for its Poets' Corner. Graves and memorials to many English poets and writers are clustered round about.                           

Гості зачаровані красою собору Святого Павла.

St. Paul's Cathedral has always dominated the centre of London. It stands on the site of former Saxon and Norman churches. The latter were destroyed in the Great Fire and the present building, completed in 1710, is the work of the eminent architect Sir Christopher Wren. It is an architectural masterpiece.

Londoners have a particular affection tor St. Paul's, which is the largest Protestant Church in England. Its high dome, containing the remarkable Whispering Gallery, is a prominent landmark towering above the multi-storeyed buildings which line the river-bank.
