    I’ve never been to Spain,
    I’ve never walked barefoot

    THE PLACES TO VISIT

    London is the capital of England. It is its political and business centre. The heart of London is the City. It is the oldest part of London. Many people work in the City but very few live there. There are a lot of banks and other offices there.

    The Tower of London was a fortress, a palace, a prison and the King’s Zoo. Now it is a museum. You can see a lot of interesting things in the rooms of the White Tower. Its square walls are white and very tall. William the Conqueror built it in the eleventh century. There are always black ravens in the Tower of London. People keep them and look after them very well as they believe that London will be rich while ravens live there.

    One of the greatest English churches, St Paul’s Cathedral, is not far from the Tower of London. The famous English architect Sir Christopher Wren built it in the 17th century after the Great Fire. It is a beautiful building with many columns and towers. In one of its towers there is one of the largest bells in the world.

    Trafalgar Square is in the centre of London. In the middle of it stands a tall column. It is a monument to Admiral Nelson. Four bronze lions look at the square from the monument. There are two beautiful fountains in the square. They are in front of the National Gallery. It is one of the best picture galleries in the world. Every day a lot of tourists visit this fine building.
