Hello, folks! Today I’d like to write some words about a place which I associate with fish, chips, a cup of tea, bad food, worse weather and Mary Poppins. If you are thinking about London, you are right!
As everyone knows London is the capital of Great Britain. It is situated on both banks of the River Thames, and it is the largest city in Britain and one of the largest in the world. About 7 millions people live there. It draws people all over the world. Some come for holidays, some come for business or studying, but having seen London once, you fall in love with it forever.
Capital consists of 3 parts: the City, the East End and the West End.
The City is London's commercial and business centre. There is the Bank of England, the Stock Exchange and the head offices of numerous companies and corporations there. Thanks to them, the City is often referred to as "the money" of London.
The West End is full of the historical palaces as well as the famous parks. Hyde Park with its Speaker's Corner, Kensington Gardens, St. James's Park. In the West End is Buckingham Palace. Which is the Queen's residence, and the Palace of Westminster which is the seat of Parliament. If you are in this part of the city you just have to visit the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, the famous Tower Clock Big Ben, the symbol of London, St. Paul's Cathedral, the greatest of English churches and The Grave of the Unknown Warrior.
In The East End you can find a great number of factories, workshops and docks. For example, St. Katharine's Dock, close to Tower Bridge, is now an attractive marina surrounded by wine bars and restaurants. The East End is in many ways the "real" London. Those who live in the East End are often called Cockneys, i. e. true Londoners. They have got their own peculiar dialect and accent.
It’s impossible to describe all places of interest and the best way to know London is to visit it.
"ЛОНДОН"
I wish I were in London now. If I were there I would organize an excursion and would give you a good idea about this wonderful city.
As we know, London is the capital of Great Britain and one of the largest industrial and cultural centers in Europe.
