LONDON
London has a population of over 8 million people. It lies on the River Thames, where the Romans landed nearly 2,000 years ago. From about 1800 until World War Two, London was the biggest city in the world, but now there are many cities which are much bigger.
London is famous for many things. Tourists come from all over the world to visit its historic buildings, such as Buckingham Palace, where the Queen lives, and the Houses of Parliament, where you can see and hear the famous clock, Big Ben. London has been a capital city for nearly a thousand years, and many of its ancient buildings still stand. They also come to visit its theatres, its museums, and its many shops, such as Harrods, where you can buy anything. And of course they want to ride on the big wheel next to the river.
Like many big cities, London has problems with traffic and pollution. Over 1,000,000 people a day use the London Underground, but there are still too many cars on the streets. The air isn’t clean, but it is cleaner than it was 100 years ago.
For many people, the best thing about London is the parks. There are five in the city centre and London has 1,700 parks, big and small, full of trees, flowers and grass. Sit on the grass (you’re allowed to) in the middle of Hyde Park or Kensington Gardens, and you will think that you are in the country.
By the day the whole of London is busy. At night, the offices are quiet and empty, but the West End stays alive, because this is where Londoners go to enjoy themselves. There are two opera houses here, several concert halls and many theatres, as well as cinemas, and in nearby Soho the pubs, restaurants and nightclubs are busy half the night.
Many people think that London is gray, but in fact red is London’s favourite colour. London is at its best when people are celebrating. Then the flags, the soldiers’ uniforms, the cheering crowds and the carriages and horses all sparkle in the sunshine – if it’s not raining, of course!
