Hello!

Let's go further. Buckingham Palace.

Buckingham Palace is the London home of the Queen. It was built in 1703 by the Duke of Buckingham. It is like a small town, with a police station, two post offices, a hospital, a disco, and a cinema.

The Houses of Parliament is the seat of British Parliament. It consists of the House of Lords and the House of Commons.

The famous clock Big Ben stands near the Houses of Parliament. Big Ben is really a bell. You hear it every hour. It weighs about 14 tons.

Magzhan : Welcome to St Paul's Cathedral. It was built in 1710 by Christopher Wren. It is the second large church in Europe. Admiral Nelson is buried here.

Now I want to tell you about the Tower of London. It is a very old building which has a long and cruel history. It was a fortress, a royal palace and later a prison. You can find here the White Tower and The Bloody Tower too.

The ravens are another famous sign. The legend says that without them the Tower will fall.

London is situated on the Thames. There are 17 bridges across the river. One is them is Tower Bridge. It was built in 1894.

Ansagan: From Trafalgar Square it is only a short way to Piccadilly Circus. In the centre of Piccadilly Circus there is a bronze fountain.

Tate Gallery opened in 1897 and is named after Sir Henry Tate, a sugar tycoon. He was a very rich man and collected paintings.
