There are many beautiful places in the world. One of them is London, an absolutely gorgeous city.
London is the capital of the United Kingdom and England and it is the biggest metropolis in the European Union. Along with New York, Paris and Tokyo, London is one of the most important global cities and one of the world`s largest financial centres. London is influence in politic, education, finance, media, fashion, entertainment, art and culture. London has population of 7 556 900.
The sights of London are a lot. Some of the most popular and interesting are: Tower Bridge, Big Ben, London Eye, Tower of London, Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey.
Tower Bridge is a bridge in London, over the River Thames. It is close to the tower of London, which gives its name. It has become an iconic symbol of London and sometimes mistakenly called London Bridge, which is actually the next bridge upstream. The bridge is 800 feet (240 m.) in length with two towers, each 213 feet (65 m.) high, built on piers. Tower Bridge is a busy and vital crossing of the Thames.
Big Ben is the name for the great bell of the clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster. Big Ben is the largest four-faced chiming clock and the third-tallest free standing clock tower in the world. It celebrated its 150th anniversary in May 2009.
The British airways London Eye, also known as the Millennium Wheel, opened in the 1999 and it is the largest observation wheel in the world. It stands 443 feet (135 m) high. The wheel caries 32 sealed and air-conditioned passenger capsules attached to its external circumference. The wheel does not stop to take passenger: the rotation rate is so slow that they can easily walk on and off the moving capsules and ground level.
The Tower of London is a dominating landmark in central London - in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets - on the eastern border of the City of London, beside the northern bank of the River Thames. It is often identified with the White Tower, the original stark, square fortress built by William the Conqueror in 1078.
Buckingham Palace is the official residence of the British monarch in London. The Palace is a setting for state occasions and royal entertaining, a base for many officially visiting Heads of State, and a major tourist attraction.
The Collegiate Church of St Peter, Westminster, which is almost always referred to by its original name of Westminster Abbey, is a mainly Gothic church, on the scale of a cathedral (and indeed often mistaken for one), in Westminster, London, just to the west of the Palace of Westminster.
Transport is one of the four main areas of policy administrated by the Mayor of London. The public transport network is administered by Transport of London and is one of the most extensive in the world. London Underground is one of the longest, oldest and most expansive metro systems in the world. The system serves 270 stations. London's bus networks is one of the largest in the world, running 24 hours a day, with 8,000 buses, 700 bus routes, and over 6 million passenger journeys made every weekday. Although the majority of journeys involving central London are made by public transport, car travel is common in the suburbs. The inner ring road (around the city centre), the North and South Circular roads (in the suburbs), and the outer orbital motorway encircle the city and are intersected by a number of busy radial routes—but very few motorways penetrate into inner London.
There are many hotels in London, some of them are very expansive but there are some cheaper hotels.
If you like expensive and luxury hotels you can stay in: “Courthouse hotel”(for 122 euro per night). The hotel offers safe deposit box, airport transfer, room service, baby sitting, sauna, indoor pool, etc. Another opportunity for luxury lovers is “Treadneedles hotel”(for 185 euro per night) The hotel offers all services. There are other expensive hotels as: “The Royal Park Hotel”, “The Leonard Hotel”, “The Landmark Hotel”, “Dukes hotel” etc.
If you looking for cheaper hotel, you can visit: “Queens Hotel” (for 36 euro per night), also you can visit “Sleeping Beauty Hotel”(43 euro for night), “Vegas Hotel” (49 euro for night), “Ashley hotel” (53 euro per night), etc. These hotels do not offer so many services as expensive hotels, but are good places, where you can stay during your holiday in London.
There are a lot of good restaurants, you can eat in London, but you have to remember that London’s restaurants are the most expensive in the world. If you don`t have much money to spend on food, it`s better to eat in fast food restaurants as “MC Donald’s”, “KFC”, etc. But if you want to go in a good English restaurant, you can go in: “The Dining Room”, “Aston Bar & Restaurant”, “Blue door bistro”, in these places you can try real British cuisine.
This is London – large, beautiful, with a great history and many tourist attractions!
