    My project is about London

    The old and the modern


    London is one of the
    largest cities in the world.
    More than 10mln people
    live in London and its
    suburbs. London is a city
    of striking contrasts. Here
    you can come across the
    past and the present, the
    old and the modern, live
    side by side in mutual
    tolerance and respect.
    ARCHITECTURE
    In London, you can see
    architecture of different
    centuries and styles. It is
    inseparably connected
    with the history of the
    city. The Romans, the
    Saxons and the Danes
    settled here in turn, after
    them came the Normans,
    and brought the French
    civilisation.
    COMMERCIAL, BEAUTIFUL
    AVENUES
    Traditionally London is divided into several parts: the City,
    .
    Westminster, the West End and the East End.
    The city first started in the place, which is known as the City. It
    is the Heart of London, its commercial and business centre. It
    occupies a territory of a square mile. During a day, it is full of
    people, nearly half a million people work there.
    The West End is the richest part of the city with its beautiful
    avenues, parks and gardens, grandhotels, theatres and
    fashionable shops.
    The THAMES
    As for me, I cannot imagine
    London without Thames. In
    fact, painters and writers regard
    the river as the source of
    inspiration. Turner, Monet,
    Canatello painted it countless
    times and their impression of
    the river in all seasons can be
    seen on the walls of museums,
    throughout the world. Pope,
    Spensor and many other poets
    sang it in their poems.. If there
    had been no Thames, there
    would be no London. It was
    born many centuries ago in the
    place, which is known as the
    City.
    St.PAULS CATHEDRAL
    St. Pauls Cathedral, the
    greatest of English
    churches. It was built by a
    famous English architect
    Sir Christopher Wren. St.
    Pauls Cathedral, with its
    famous Whispering Gallery,
    and is considered to be a
    masterpiece of Renaissance
    architecture. In one of its
    towers hangs one of the
    largest bells in the world
    Great Paul.
    TOWER OF LONDON
    If you want to get some
    glimpses of London, youd
    better start sightseeing
    with the Tower of London,
    that comes first among the
    historic buildings of the
    city. It has been used as the
    Royal Palace, as an
    observatory, an arsenal
    and a prison. For many
    visitors the principal
    attraction is the Crown
    Jewels, the finest precious
    stones of the nation.
    WESTMISTER ABBEY
    Not far from Cathedral is
    Westminster Abbey. The
    best part of the Abbey is
    a wonderful chapel,
    dating back to the 16th
    century. It is famous for
    its magnificent
    architecture. There are
    many monuments and
    statues there. Across the
    road from Westminster
    Abbey is Westminster
    Palace, which is spread
    magnificently on the
    north bank of the
    Thames.
    SIGHTS
    In London there are
    many sights: Big-
    Ben, Marble Arch,
    Tower Bridge, and
    .
    Trafalgar Square.
