                         London Places of Interest.

   There are a lot  of  places  of  interest  in  London.  Among  them  are:
Westminster Abbey, Houses  of  Parliament,  Buckingham  Palace,  St.  Paul's
Cathedral, London Bridge, the Tower of London.
  London stands on the river Thames. Crossing the river by the Tower Bridge
you can see the Tower of London. It is one of the oldest  buildings  of  the
city. Many centuries ago it was a  fortress,  a  royal  palace  and  then  a
prison. Now it is a museum of arms.
  On the bank of the Thames, not far from the Tower of London, you can  see
Westminster Palace, or the Houses of Parliament.  It  is  the  seat  of  the
British government and it is one of the most beautiful buildings in  London.
In one of its towers there is the famous  Big  Ben,  the  largest  clock  of
England. It strikes every quarter of an hour.
  Buckingham Palace is the  Queen's  official  London  residence.  Tourists
always go to see the ceremony of changing the Guard there.
  London has many fine squares. Some of them are  quiet,  others  are  busy
like Trafalgar Square. Trafalgar Square is the central square of  the  city.
To the right of the square there is the National Gallery which  has  a  fine
collection of Europian paintings.
    St. Paul's Cathedral is  the  biggest  English  church.  Another  famous
church is Westminster Abbey where kings, queens, and many famous people  are
burried.
  London is also famous for its beautiful parks.  Hyde  Park  is  the  most
democratic park in the world, as anyone can say  anything  he  likes  there.
Regent's Park is the home of London Zoo.
  I'd like to see it all myself.
