A short story about London

London is the capital of Great Britain. It is one of the biggest cities in the world. Over than 9 million people live in it. London is situated on the Thames river. London is traditionally divided into four parts. They are: the City, the Westminster, the West End, the East End

The first stop is Buckingham Palace

Buckingham Palace is an official royal residence. The palace takes its name from the house built for John Sheffield the Duke of Buckingham. The changing of the guard takes place regularly. The royal standard is flown over the palace only when the queen is in residence. 

The second stop is Сovent Garden

Сovent Garden is a famous tourist centre in London. There is a historic Market Place here. There are lots of places to visit in Сovent Garden. You can choose and buy any souvenir for your family and friends. After shopping you can have lunch or dinner in a small café or restaurant. In the evening you can visit a theatre.

There are a lot of  comfortable hotels around it.  Сovent Garden is a popular meeting place.

The third stop is the Tower of London

The Tower of London is one of the most famous and most interesting places in the city. The Tower was once a palace, a fortress, a prison and even a Zoo. Today it is known as a historical museum. . Now it is famous as home of the Crown Jewels. Of course, no visit to the Tower would be complete without seeing the ravens; huge black birds who are an official part of the Tower community. Legend states that if the ravens were to leave the Tower the Crown will fall, and Britain with it.

The fourth stop is St. Paul’s Cathedral

St Paul's Cathedral is one of the most famous buildings in the world. The first Christian church was built by the Saxon King. It was made of wood and was eventually burnt down. It was rebuilt several times. Sir Christopher Wren restored it.

Why not pay St Paul's a visit? One feature you will find interesting is the Whispering Gallery, where you can whisper at one wall, and then hear what you whispered on the opposite wall 107 feet away
