View of the City of London from the Thames The City of London is the historical, geographical and administrative center of London.
Слайд 4The busy River in London (paintings of the 17th -18th century)
The
Thames was a busy river because it was the main way of transportation.
Слайд 5
The Map of London of 1640
To travel by boats was the
cheapest and safest way to get from the City of London to Westminster, because centuries ago these were two different cities.
Слайд 6Thomas H. Shepherd, A Street in the City of London (Engraving
1837)
Until the 18th century the City of London was all of London.
Слайд 7The Bank of England, the central bank of the United Kingdom
The
City is also called “the Money of London” because since times immemorial most banks and financial businesses have been situated there. The Bank of England, the central bank of the United Kingdom is situated in Threadneedle Street in the City.
Слайд 8The Royal Exchange, London, 1890-1900
The London Stock Exchange is one of
the world’s oldest stock exchanges and can trace its history back more than 300 years.
Слайд 9The Great Fire of London (1666)
The City, as you know from
history, was badly destroyed by the Great Fire of London in 1666.
Слайд 12Saint Paul’s Cathedral
Front View
His major deed was certainly the construction
of St. Paul’s Cathedral.
Слайд 13Up till now Saint Paul’s Cathedral is one of the greatest
churches in England and in the world.
Saint Paul’s Cathedral
Слайд 14Epitaph on Sir Christopher Wren’s tomb stone
Sir Christopher Wren gave
30 years of his life to the construction of the Cathedral. He is buried there in the Crypt. The epitaph on his tomb stone reads:
“Reader, if you seek his memorial – look around you”.
“Reader, if you seek his memorial – look around you”.
Слайд 15Sir Godfrey Kneller, Pertrait of
Sir Christopher Wren
Besides St. Paul’s cathedral Sir
Christopher Wren created practically a new City, that we can see and enjoy today.
Слайд 16The City of London (view from the Thames.) (Engraving of the
late 17th century
According to his plan the City center was rebuilt anew. It was by his order, that wooden houses were forbidden to be built and new wide streets were constructed. There appeared over 30 new Churches.
Слайд 17The City of London boundary sign
The Mayor is independent from the
Crown and the municipal authorities. The City frontiers are marked by such a sign. When her majesty the Queen decides to go to the City of London she has to ask for a Lord Mayor’s permission.
Слайд 18The Key to the City of London
The City of London Coat-of-Arms
A City of London Bollard
The City of London has its Coat-of-Arms. The symbolic Key to the City of London is kept in the City Hall. The boundaries of the city are marked by bollards in the pedestrian areas.
Слайд 19Dragon statue at Temple Bar monument,
One of the most prominent sculptures
is the Dragon statue at Temple Bar monument, which marks the boundary between the City and Westminster.
Слайд 20
Mansion House, the official residence of the Lord Mayor of London
Today
the official residence of the Lord Mayor of the City of London is the Mansion House. The Lord Mayor is elected for one year and the position is unpaid and apolitical. It is an exceptionally demanding role.
Слайд 21Mansion House, the official residence of the Lord Mayor of London
The
Lord Mayor spends some 90 days abroad. He addresses some 10,000 people face-to-face each month (making around 700 speeches a year).
Слайд 22Lord Mayor of London procession on the way to the Royal
Courts of Justice
Every year on the second Saturday of November, the next day after the election the Lord Mayor, preceded by a procession, travels to the Royal Courts of Justice in Westminster
Слайд 23The Royal Courts of Justice of England and Wales
to swear allegiance
to the Sovereign in the presence of the judges of the High Court. Of course, this is a tribute to old traditions.
Слайд 24The modern building of the City Hall is the headquarters of
the Greater London Authority (GLA) which comprises the Mayor of London and London Assembly.
Слайд 25City Hall, London
It was designed by Norman Foster and opened in
July 2002, two years after the Greater London Authority was created. The “Egg” is situated on the left bank of the Thames.
Слайд 26Another City building of a challenging shape is called “a gherkin”
– a cucumber. It houses some private corporation.
Слайд 27Millenium bridge
In the previous slide you’ve just seen a crowd walking
across one of the newest bridges - Millennium Bridge, officially known as the London Millennium Footbridge. It is a steel suspension bridge leading from the Tate Art Gallery to St. Paul’s Cathedral.
Слайд 28The “Wobbly” Bridge
This is a bridge for no traffic. Londoners nicknamed
the bridge “the Wobbly Bridge”, because as you are walking you can feel a swaying motion of the bridge under you feet.
Слайд 29Tate Modern, London
The southern end of the bridge is near Tate
Modern Gallery. It is Britain's national gallery of international modern art and forms part of the Tate group (together with four other Tate Galleries)
Слайд 30The newly reconstructed Globe Theatre
Next to the Tate Modern there is
the newly reconstructed Globe Theatre.
Слайд 31
The Globe Theatre inside
The theatre has a capacity of about
1500. 500 spectators stand on the ground in front of the stage.
Слайд 32Banks and Office Buildings in the City of London
The today’s City
remains a business center housing a lot of banks & other offices, but it is also one of the main attractions for tourists.
Слайд 33The London Eye
A recent but very popular tourist attraction is the
London Eye, a giant observation wheel located in the Jubilee Gardens on the South Bank.
Слайд 34A London Eye Capsule (Pod)
The 135 meter tall structure was built
as part of London's millennium celebrations. The Eye has done for London what the Eiffel Tower did for Paris.
Слайд 36The grand old River Thames (view from the London Eye)
Another amazing
experience is the Thames river cruise. The Thames is certainly one of the jewels in London’s crown. Its lower reaches flow through central London.
Слайд 37Statue of Old Father Thames by Raffaelle Monti at St. John's
Lock
London's fame and fortune is due to the river. It has been an important trade and transport route since prehistoric times.
Слайд 38Some of the many piers for joining sightseeing boat trips
If you
ask a Londoner what is the City's greatest asset or the thousands of boaters in cruisers up and down the length of the river, they will come up with a myriad of reasons why a day on or near the Thames is a great experience.
