commercial centre.

It is one of the largest cities in the world and the largest city in Europe.

Its population is about 8 million.

The Clock Tower of the Houses of

Parliament is famous for its big hour bell,

known as “Big Ben”.

Big Ben: this 316ft

clock tower was

completed between

1858-59. Big Ben

is named, probably,

after Sir Benjamin

Hall, the first

commissioner of

works.

Big Ben was first

broadcast on

New York’s Eve in

1923.

Big Ben weigh s

over 13 tons.

The clock mechanism, alone, weighs about

5 tons.

The two Houses of Parliament are in the

Westminster Palace.It was built between

1840 and 1860.It was designer by architect

Sir Charles Barry.The original Palace of

Westminster was the home for the Royal

f amily until the

16th centure.

Then it bec a me

the meeting place

of the Parliament.

Westminster Abbey is the most beautiful and one of the oldest parts

of Westminster. Most of the queens and kings of England have been

crowned here, and you may see the ancient Coronation Chair beneath

which is the Stone of Scone. King Edward the First had brought it

from Scone Abbey in Scotland when the Scots were defeated.

Many English kings and queens buried

In Westminster Abbey. The church is

full of memorials to statesmen, writers,

scientists and explorers all of whom

have played a part in shaping Britain’s

history.Here you can see Oliver

Cromwell’s grave and here are some

other names:Charles Dickens, Rudyard

Kipling, Isaac Newton,and Charles

Darwin.Many more outstanding poets and

writers, though not buried in

Westminster Abbey, are honoured by

memorials in the Poets’ Corner.

The Tower Bridge was built at the end of the 19th century to match

the medieval style of the fortress. The bridge is functioning perfectly

well for such a great city as modern London. It can be quickly swung

open to let in big ocean ships that can move up the Thames from the

ocean. The territory between the Tower and London bridges is called

the Pool for this reason.

So that pedestrians could

walk along the bridge at

the time its lower part is

open, a pass is made in its

upper part of the bridge

nowdays .

Piccadilly Circus is the point at which four

streets merge. It is famous for its fountain

and a statue. It was officially unveiled in

1885), politician, philanthropist and social

reformer. The winged figure,which is

Known as Eros, represents the “Angel of

Christian Charity”, but people call it “God

of Love”.Maybe because of that Piccadilly

Circus attracts a lot of people, espeacialy

young.

It’s bright with flower-sellers in daytime and with electric

advertisements at night; Piccadilly Circus is the centre of

London’s theatres and concert halls.

The National Gallery-an art gallery in Trafalgar Square, London.

It is comparatively new, more resent than the great galleries in Rome,

Paris, and so on. The gallery was opened on the 10th of May, 1824 as

Trafalgar Square is one of the most

beautiful places in London. Trafalgar

Square is also famous for its fountains,

but its main feature, of course, is the

monument known as Nelson’s Column.

The square was so named to commemorate

Nelson’s victory over Napoleon at the

battle of Trafalgar in 1805. Napoleon had

threatened to invade Britain. Admiral

Nelson swept the seas searching for the

French navy and at last met it in Trafalgar

Bay. Nelson was killed in the battle but

the victory was won. Round the base of the

monument there are four bronze bas-reliefs,

representing scenes of Nelson’s life and

death. The metal for these bas-reliefs was

cast from cannon captured from the French.
