My
first visit to London was one and a half years ago.
It was a wonderful trip. I stayed in the city for
three weeks, and I had many impressions. I
visited all the famous places.
I'd like to tell you
about some of the places I visited in this
beautiful city.
When
I dreamed of seeing London in the past, I always
wanted to see the Tower Bridge and the famous Big
Ben clock. I visited these places, and I went on a
tourist boat on the River Thames and saw two
coasts.
First,
I went to the Tower of London, and I want to say
that it is a very interesting historical place. I
found out that a long time ago, it was a prison.
Later it became a castle for the royal family. Or
maybe it is the reverse; I'm not sure, but later
they left this place and lived in Buckingham
Palace and Kensington Palace.

The
Tower of London is a very interesting
historical place. A long time ago, it was
a prison.

I
also enjoyed visiting the House of Parliament and
Westminister Abbey, two very popular places for
tourists. They are very old and beautiful. The
Abbey is built in a kind of Gothic style; it is
fantastic.
In
London, you can also enjoy nature. There are many
parks such as Regent's Park, Hyde Park, Green Park,
St. James Park, and Holland Park.
These
parks are wonderful green, quiet places where you
can relax and escape the noise of the
city.

Trafalgar
Square is a popular place for students andother
young people. You will find lots of pigeons there.
If you have time, you can feed them and they will
be very happy. You can buy special food for them,
but be careful! Tons of birds are going to surround
you if you feed them.
Another
very special place in London that I like is St.
Paul's Cathedral which was designed by Sir
Christopher Wren.
I
also was impressed with the museums in London.
They're very popular. I found them interesting
because you can learn about the history of
England.
I
had a wonderful time in London. I really liked it
because it is a city that is rich in
history.
