Few people live here, but over a million people come to the City to work.

The main branches of industry are machine-building, ship-building, metal processing and others.

4. Trafalgar Square is the geographical center of London. It obtained its name in memory of Admiral Nelson’s victory in the battle of Trafalgar in 1805. The tall Nelson’s Column stands in the middle of the square. On the north side of Trafalgar Square is the National Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery. Not far away is the British Museum - the biggest museum in London. It contains a priceless collection of ancient manuscripts, coins, sculptures and is famous for its library.

5. There are a lot of magnificent buildings in London. One of them is Buckingham palace, the royal residence. Westminster Abbey has the memorials of many famous citizens of Britain.
