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 one of

the largest cities in the world. London with its suburbs has a

population of about 11 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

the 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. Exchange and the Bank of England are here, too. 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

Different areas of London seem like different cities. The West End is

a rich man* world of shops, offices and theatres. The City of London is

the district where most offices and banks are concentrated; the Royal

thousands of new flats and houses. By the day the whole of London is busy.

At night, offices are quiet

and empty, but the West End stays 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. In nearby Soho the

pubs, restaurants and night clubs are busy half the night.
