feet high. You can hear the sound of Big Ben every hour in London. The clock
and the bell got their names after Sir Benjamin Hall. He was a tall man, whose

The Tower of London
is the most ancient buildings of London. It was founded in the 11-th century by
William the Conqueror. For many centuries the Tower has been a fortress, a palace,
a prison and royal treasure. Now it is the museum.
The
grey stones of the Tower could tell about terrible, sad and cruel events which
took place in the walls of the Tower. The ravens still live here as part of
its history. There is a legend that if the ravens disappear, the Tower will
fall. That is why the birds are carefully guarded.
Trafalgar Square. The centre of London is Trafalgar
Square. Some people say it is the most beautiful place in London. In the
middle of the square stands a tall column It is a monument of Admiral Nelson.
Four bronze lions look at the square from the monument . On the north side
there is the National Gallery. There are two beautiful fountains in the square
. They are in front of the National Gallery which is one of the best picture
galleries of the world. Every day many tourists visit this fine building with
tall columns.
Buckingham Palace is the official residence of Her Majesty the
Queen and her Family. It isn’t open to the public . It is a wonderful building
with a monument in front of it which is the Queen Victoria Memorial.
The
first monarch who took residence there was Queen Victoria .When her Majesty is
in residence the Royal Standards flies over the east of Buckingham Palace.
Sant Paul’s Cathedral is the greatest work of England’s greatest
architect Ser Christopher Wren. It was opened in 1697 but was finished only in
1710, when Wren was almost eighty years old. It’s the most striking building
in the city today and the third largest church in whole world.
I
want to tell you about Tower Bridge. Tower Bridge was opened in 1894.
It takes it’s name from the Tower of London . The hydraulic mechanism can
raise and lower the bridge in about one and half minutes. The covered
walkway between the two towers is opened to the public and offers a
spectacular view of London.
The Queen’s day. When the Queen gets up in the morning , seven people look
after her . One starts her bath, one prepares her clothes and one feeds the
