I've never been
to London, but to visit the capital of Great Britain is dream of my life.
London
London is the capital of Great Britain, its political, economic and cultural centre. It's one of the largest cities in the world. Its population is more than million people.
London is situated on the river Thames.
The city is very old and beautiful. It was founded more than two thousand years ago.

in London, such as WWT London Wetlands Centre, London Eye Ferris Wheel, London Dungeon, London Planetarium and many others.
The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, usually referred to as Kew Gardens, is 121 hectares of gardens and botanical glasshouses between Richmond and Kew in southwest London.
Слайд 7 Come to London in the spring. In the spring,
the city is getting warmer by gentle spring sun.
Spring - the perfect time to visit the many attractions of London.
Слайд 8 You can admire the flowers at Kew
Gardens (Kew Gardens), to observe the newly hatched ducklings in a London Centre of wildlife and aquatic lands (WWT London Wetlands Centre) or a stroll in one of the beautiful Royal Parks of London.
Слайд 10 The capital of Great Britain is a very
popular city for tourists not only in his country and Europe as a whole, and in London there are many attractions, many of which are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Everyone is familiar with names such as Big Ben, Tower of London, Westminster, Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square etc.
Слайд 11 Tower Bridge - a bridge with a combined
mobile farm in London, England over the River Thames. That's close proximity to the Tower of London, gave the name of this bridge. Tower became a symbol of London as Big Ben or the Houses of Parliament of Great Britain.
London Eye Ferris Wheel
The London Eye is a giant Ferris wheel on the South Bank of the River Thames in London. Also known as the Millennium Wheel, it has also been called by its owners the British Airways London Eye, then the Merlin Entertainments London Eye, then the EDF Energy London Eye. Since mid-January 2015, it has been known as the Coca-Cola London Eye, following an agreement signed in September 2014.
Слайд 14Big Ben
Big Ben is the nickname for the Great Bell of the clock at the north
end of the Palace of Westminster in London, and often extended to refer to the clock and the clock tower. The tower is officially known as Elizabeth Tower, renamed to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II in 2012; previously it was known simply as the Clock Tower. The tower holds the second largest four-faced chiming clock in the world (after Minneapolis City Hall). The tower was completed in 1858 and had its 150th anniversary on 31 May 2009,during which celebratory events took place. The tower has become one of the most prominent symbols of the United Kingdom and is often in the establishing shot of films set in London.
Слайд 15Park Hotel
Park Holidays UK operate 25 holiday parks in the South of England and are
the largest holiday park operator along the South Coast.The company also carries out conservation work in the areas around their parks and have been awarded the David Bellamy Conservation award for their efforts. Park Holidays UK are also members of the British Holiday and Home Parks Association (BH&HPA) and the National Caravan Council, in which all of their holiday parks were been awarded the ‘Approved Holiday Park’ by the NCC.
Слайд 16Piccadilly Circus has become an important meeting point - for as
well as sightseers. At its heart is a bronze fountain topped by a figure of a winded archer, known as Eros, the pagan god of love.
This area is now famous for its theatres, clubs and shops.
Слайд 17Whitehall is a street in central London running from Trafalgar Square
to the Houses of Parliament and containing many important buildings and government offices, such as the Treasury, Admiralty and others. In the centre of the roadway stands the Cenotaph, the memorial to the fallen of both world wars. The Prime Minister's residence at No. 10 Downing Street is directly connected to Whitehall.
Слайд 18Finally I want to say that London is city-fairy tale. This
city should visit everyone to broaden his/her outlook. London is always full of life. The streets are crowded with traffic. High 'double-decker' buses rise above the smaller cars and vans.
The city of London today is the financial powerhouse of the country and one of the chief commercial centers of the western world.
Here the medieval buildings stand side by side with modern glass high-rise offices.
The parks of London provide a welcome contrast to the great built-up areas. St.James's Park, Green Park, Hyde Park, and Kensington Gardens are linked together. They form 313 hectares of open parkland in the heart of London.
I think it necessary that every person should visit London!
