London is the capital of Great Britain.

It is one of the largest cities in the world.

London is situated on the river Thames.

The city is very old and beautiful.

It was founded more than two thousand years ago.

The centre of London is Trafalgar Square.
In the middle of square stands a monument to Admiral Nelson.

The large clock in one of the towers is Big Ben. The big clock on the tower of the Palace of Westminster in London is often called Big Ben. But Big Ben is really the bell of the clock. It is the biggest clock bell in Britain. It weighs 13.5 tons.

The clock tower is 318 feet high. You have to go up 374 steps to reach the top. So the clock looks small from the pavement below the tower.

But its face is 23 feet wide. It would only just fit into some classrooms.

The minute-hand is 14 feet long. Its weight is equal to that of two bags of coal. The hour-hand is 9 feet long.

The clock bell is called Big Ben after Sir Benjamin Hall. He had the job to see that the bell was put up.

You can hear the sound of Big Ben every hour in London.

across the Thames. Tower Bridge is a combined bascule and suspension bridge in London built in 1886–1894. The bridge crosses the River Thames close to the Tower of London and has become an iconic symbol of London.

It has been a focal point for the British people at times of national rejoicing and mourning.

St. James’s Park is the oldest park. St James's Park is a 23-hectare (57-acre) park in the City of Westminster, central London. The park lies at the southernmost tip of the St James's area, which was named after a leper hospital dedicated to St James the Less. The park is the most easterly of a near-continuous chain of parks that comprises (moving westward) Green Park, Hyde Park, and Kensington Gardens.

There are many trees, grass, flowers  and water.
