the City of London, the West End, the East End.
Buckingham Palace is one of the most famous buildings in the world.
It is in the very centre of London. The Palace is one of the four homes of the Royal Family. In 1994 British people went to the Palace for the first time.
He name Big Ben actually refers not to the clock- tower itself, but to the thirteen ton bell hung within. The bell was named after the first commissioner of works, Sir Benjamin Hall.
Founded nearly a millennium ago and expanded upon over the centuries since, the Tower of London has protected the city.
V. Reading the text : “The Romans”
The Romans went to England many, many years ago. They built a town on the River Thames. The name of the town was Londinium . The Romans built Londinium near the river. The place for the town was very good. Soon the Romans built a bridge over the River Thames.
Londinium got bigger and bigger. The Romans built a lot of roads from Londinium to other parts of Britain.
By the year 400, there were fifty thousand people in Londinium . Soon after400, the Romans left Britain. We do not know very much about Londinium between the years 400 and 1000.
The River Thames has always been part of London ,s history. In Romans times Londinium was a small town with the Thames in its centre.
Now London is a very large city but the River Thames is still in the centre of London.
Until 1749, there was only one bridge over river: London Bridge. The old London Bridge looked very strange. There were houses and shops on the bridge. In the nineteenth century there were already a lot of new bridges in London. Now there are more than twenty bridges over the Thames.
