P(Vitaly):Certainly,I know.The most important parts of London are the City,the West End,the East End and Westminster.

T: It seems to me that the City is the largest part of London.

-Can the tourists come to the Palace and see the interior?

Guide :I’m sorry, but they can’t.The interior and the gardens are never open to the public except for those who are invited to parties or the ceremonies.

-It is interesting for me to know why many tourists come to the Buckingham Palace.

Guide: I think its because of the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace.It starts at 11:30 and last for half an hour.The troops wear their traditional clothes. Look here,please. You can see the Palace of Parliament.It is a magnificent building with two towers and a very big clock Big Ben. Big Ben is the symbol of London.

- Guide: It weights 13.5 tons.

 Close to the Houses of Parliament stands Westminster Abbey.It is very beautiful church ,built over 900 years ago.Nearly all the kings and queens of were crowned and burried there.Many great English scientists lie buried there,among them Newton,Darvin.
