Text. London

London is the capital of the United Kingdom, its economic, political and cultural centre. It is one of the world‟s most important ports and

86

one of the largest cities in the world (together with Tokyo and New York). London with its suburbs has a population of about 12 million people.

London has been a capital for nearly a thousand years. Many of its ancient buildings still stand. The most famous of them are the Tower of London, where the crown jewels are kept, Westminster Abbey and St.

Paul‟s Cathedral. Most visitors also want to see the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace (the Queen‟s home with its Changing of the Guards) and many magnificent museums.

Once London was a small Roman town on the north bank of the Thames. Slowly it grew into one of the world‟s major cities.

Different areas of London seem like different cities. The City of London is the district where most offices and banks are concentrated; The Royal Exchange, the Old Bailey and the Bank of England are here, too. Few people live in the City but over a million come to work here. Two masterpieces are situated within the City: St. Paul‟s Cathedral and the Tower of London. St. Paul‟s Cathedral was built in the 17th century by Sir Christopher Wren, a famous English architect. The Cathedral is the largest church in England and the second in the world. It is crowned with a huge dome. Inside the dome there is the famous Whispering Gallery. The Tower of London built in 11th century is associated with many important events in the British history. It was used as a fortress, a palace, a mint and a prison. The Tower of London is famous for its prisoners, like Sir Thomas More and Guy Fawkes. The Tower is guarded by “Beefeaters”. Now it‟s a museum.

Westminster is the aristocratic official part of London. It includes Buckingham Palace where the Queen lives and the Houses of Parliament stretching for nearly 1000 feet along the north bank of the Thames. The Clock Tower of the Houses of Parliament is famous for its big hour bell, known as “Big Ben”.

Westminster Abbey is the place where coronation of nearly all kings and queens has taken place. Many of them are buried here as well as some other famous people of the country e.g. G. Chaucer, A. Tennyson, Is. Newton, Ch. Dickens, T. Hardy, R. Kipling and many other writers, poets and musicians; this place is called the Poet‟s Corner. Here there are memorials to Shakespeare, Burns, Byron, Scott and to the great American poet Longfellow.

The West End is a rich man‟s world of shops, offices and theatres. It‟s a symbol of luxury and wealth. One of the busiest streets in the West

87

End is Oxford Street. There are many various shops in it which attract customers from different countries of the world.

By the day the whole London is busy. At night, offices are quiet and empty, but the West End still alive, because this is where Londoners come to enjoy themselves. There are two opera houses here, several concert halls and many theatres, as well as cinemas. The centre of London‟s theatres is Piccadilly Circus. Five important streets meet there: Piccadilly, Regent, Haymarket, New Bond Street and Shaftsbury Avenue. In nearby Soho the pubs, restaurants and night clubs are busy half the night.

Trafalgar Square is the geographical centre of London. It was named in the memory of Admiral Nelson‟s victory at the battle of Trafalgar in 1805. The tall Nelson‟s Column stands in the middle of the square.

Opposite the Nelson monument is the National Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery. They contain the finest art collections in the world. Not far from the National Gallery is the British Museum famous for its rich library (about 7,000,000 books). One can see there Egyptian statues, sphinxes, manuscripts, coins, paintings.

If the City is the “money” of London and the West End is the “goods” of London, then the East End is the “hands” of London. The East End is the district where mostly working people live. The old port area is now called “Docklands”. There are now new office buildings in Docklands, and thousands of new flats and houses. Old residents of East End are proud to be called cockneys which mean true Londoners, hereditary inhabitants of the area. They love the district very much.

Like all big cities, London has streets and concrete buildings, but it also has many big parks, full of trees, flowers and grass. The best known parks of London are Hyde Park, Regent‟s Park, St. James‟s Park and Kensington Gardens. In all London parks you may walk on the grass and lie down to rest on it.

Many people live outside the centre of London in the suburbs, and they travel to work in shops and offices by train, bus or underground (“The Tube”).
