Today, more than 6.000.000 people live in London
and every year, more than nine million people
come from countries all over the world to visit the
city.
A quick and easy way to get to different places in
the city is to use an Underground train. The trains
run all day and most of the night. You can see
much more of London from one of its famous red
buses. There are some special buses for visitors
that take you to many of the interesting places in
the city on one journey that takes about one and a
half hour. London taxis are called ‘black cabs’.
Most of them are black but some are not. The
drivers are friendly and helpful. It’s also possible to
take a long boat trip along the River Thames and
see lovely places in London and out of the city.
London has interesting old buildings to visit, many
of them are hundreds of years old: The
Buckingham Palace – the home of the Queen; the
Tower Bridge – opened in 1894, The Houses of
the Parliament – the home of the British
government and beautiful churches: St. Paul’s
Cathedral and Westminster Abbey. This abbey is
where many kings and queens are crowned – or
get the throne – and where the royal family get
married.
London has beautiful parks and gardens, theatres,
museums and art galleries. There are also streets
with famous shops and markets and international
restaurants and English pubs where you can drink
the English beer. The typical English food is fish
and chips. They’re cheap and good to eat. But
there are many, many more things to see and do
in London. Come and see!
