LONDON

London is the capital of Great Britain, its political, economic and commercial centre. It is a great industrial and cultural centre. Today London is one of the biggest cities in the world, and the biggest seaport in Europe.

London is a very old city. It is more than twenty centuries old¹. Its population is about ten million people.

London lies on both sides of the River Thames. The Thames is a very beautiful and wide river. It is in the south of the country and flows from west to east, into the North Sea. The River Thames divides London into two parts: the North Bank and the South Bank.

London stretches for nearly thirty miles from north to south and for nearly thirty miles from east to west.

The street traffic of London is very heavy². There is a constant stream of cars, taxis, buses and lorries. In some parts of London there are trolley-buses and trams as well.

The important parts of London are the City, the West End, the East End³, and the Westminster.

The main feature of Trafalgar Square is the tall Nelson monument, 185 feet high, with the figure of the seaman on the top. Admiral Lord Nelson is Britain's national hero, who destroyed the French fleet at the battle of Trafalgar in 1805.

Hyde Park covers 360 acres. It was formerly a deer park and royal hunting ground. There is «Orators Corner» in the park. It is for public meetings and the speakers who gather here are one of the park's most popular attractions.

The East End is the poorest part. There are many factories, workshops, and docks there. Most of the workers live in this part of London.

Westminster is the central part of London. Most governmental buildings are in Westminster. From the Westminster bridge we get the best view of the Houses Parliament.
