A VISIT TO LONDON On September 25. 1984 Peter Fedorov, a lecturer at Moscow University, was giving a farewell dinner party to his friends as he was leaving for Great Britain the next day. Peter told his friends that he would teach spoken Russian to English students at Leads University for a year. He also said he would try to complete the English textbook he was working at. His friends asked Peter whether he was going by air or by train. Peter said that he was going by air. George Lunin, one of his colleagues, who had been to England before, advised him to take the train. George said that if Peter went by train he would be able to see Poland, Germany and the Netherlands on his way to England. It would take him about two days to get to London. Peter’s friends asked him whether he would be able to stay in London for a while and go sightseeing. Peter hoped he would stay in London for a couple of days. He said he had already read the guidebook to London and had made a list of places he wanted to see. This is what Peter read about London. London, the capital of Great Britain, lies in the valley of the Thames. Its population is over twelve million. London is the biggest industrial and cultural centre of Great Britain. One of the oldest buildings in London is the Tower. William the Conqueror,' the first Norman king, built it in the eleventh century. For hundreds of years the Tower was used as a fortress, a residence of kings and a prison. The most popular sight in the Tower nowadays is the Jewel House in which the Crown jewels- are on display. St Paul’s Cathedral is not very far from the Tower. The cathedral, the most striking building in the City,’ was designed by Sir Christopher Wren, an outstanding British architect. The City of London is a very small part of the whole, it is only one square mile in area but it is the most important banking and commercial centre of the country. Every day over a million white-collar workers come to the City offices and banks. If you walk westwards from St Paul’s you can reach Fleet Street. Here the most important newspapers and news-agencies have their offices. Walking along the Strand you can reach the Houses of Parliament. The new building for the Houses of Parliament was built in 1840 on the site of the old Palace ofWestminster. When Parliament sits a flag flies from the Victoria Tower by day and a light in the Clock Tower above the famous Big Ben4 bums by night. Opposite the Houses of Parliament stands Westminster Abbey, famous for its architecture and historical associations. Nearly all kings and queens have been crowned' in the Abbey since the 11 th century. Chaucer, Spencer. Tennyson, Dickens and many other famous men and writers were buried there. In the Poet’s Corner* there are memorials to Shakespeare, Milton, Burns, Byron and many other poets and writers. One of London's attractions is its parks. Hyde Park is the most famous of them. There are many other historical buildings, museums and exhibitions in London. Some skyscrapers made of glass and steel7 were built in London recently but they are not popular with English people who traditionally like to live in small two-storey houses. Names Leeds |li:dz] г.
