London (1)
London is the capital of Great Britain, its
political, economic and cultural centre. It's one of
the largest cities in the world. Its population is
more than million people. London is situated on
the river Thames. The city is very old and
beautiful. It was founded more than two
thousand years ago. Traditionally London is
divided into several parts: the City, the West End,
the East End and Westminster. The City is the
oldest part of London, its financial and business
centre. The heart of the City is the Stock
Exchange. Westminster is the most important
part of the capital. It's the administrative centre.
The Houses of Parliament, the seat of the British
Government, are there. It's a very beautiful
building with two towers and a very big clock
called Big Ben. Big Ben is really the bell which
strikes every quarter of an hour. Opposite the
Houses of Parliament is Westminster Abbey. It's
a very beautiful church built over 900 years ago.
The tombs of many great statesmen, scientists
and writers are there.
To the west of Westminster is West End.
Here we find most of the big shops, hotels,
museums, art galleries, theatres and concert
halls. Picadilly Circus is the heart of London's
West End. In the West End there are wide streets
with beautiful houses and many parks, gardens
and squares. To the east of Westminster is the
East End, an industrial district of the capital. There
are no parks or gardens in the East End and you
can't see many fine houses there. Most of the
plants and factories are situated there. London
has many places of interest. One of them is
Buckingham Palace. It's the residence of the
Queen. The English are proud of Trafalgar
Square, which was named so in memory of the
victory at the battle. There in 1805 the English fleet
defeated the fleet of France and Spain. The last
place of interest I should like to mention, is the
British Museum, the biggest museum in London.
The museum is famous for its library -one of the
richest in the world.
All London's long-past history is told by its
streets. There are many streets in London which
are known all over the" world. Among them
Oxford Street, Downing Street and a lot of others
can be mentioned. And tourists are usually
attracted not only by the places of interest but by
the streets too. In conclusion I should say if you
are lucky enough to find yourself in London
some day you will have a lot to see and enjoy
there.

Another says that the most heavy at that moment the bell (13.7 tons) was named in honor of Benjamin the count, a very famous boxer in heavy weight. Construction.
