The City

All the principle streets of London lead to  the  heart  of  the  City,  the
financial and business center of  Great  Britain.  The  City  is  about  one
square mile in area and only a few thousand people live there. But  by  day,
many people swarm its streets and  offices.  Here  there  are  the  Bank  of
England, The  Stock  Exchange  and  headquarters  of  many  of  the  richest
companies and corporations in the world. The City’s  greatest  monument  and
on of the finest Renaissance cathedrals in Europe  is  St.Paul’s  Cathedral.
The old cathedral was completely destroyed by the Great Fire  of  London  in
1666. People put their belongings in the church, thinking it was  safe,  but
the fire soon reached it. It was so hot it  turned  the  church  bells  into
molten metal. Christopher When a famous English architect, was  commissioned
to rebuild Saint Paul’s. He made several  plans  before  one  was  accepted.
Running around the interior of the dome is the  famous  Whispering  Gallery.
It is called so because you can clearly hear the  whisper  made  by  someone
who is standing on the opposite side of the gallery.
Tower Bridge is the only Thames bridge which can be raised.  The  road  over
the bridge is built on two central sections called bascules, which open  two
or three times a week to let ships through. There are  displays  inside  the
bridge on its history. (T.S.+W.A.+H.P.)
