London

The Romans went to England many, many years ago. They built a town on the river Thames. The name of the town was Londinium. In Roman times Londinium was a small town. But when William the Conqueror became King of London, he built a lot of new buildings.

Now London is the capital of Great Britain. Its population is more than 7 million people. London is a cultural centre. There are many cinemas, museums, libraries and parks in the city. St. James’s Park is one of the royal parks. Here you can see pelicans and ducks. In Regent’s Park there is the London Zoo. It is one of the biggest parks in the world.

Also here you can see Big Ben, one of the most famous clocks in the world. Westminster Abbey is a royal church and St. Paul’s Cathedral is the second famous church. It was built by Sir Christopher Wren.

The heart of London is Trafalgar Square. It is a very beautiful city and I would like to visit it one day.
