Westminster Abbey is a fine Gothic building. It’s the work of many hands & different ages. It is a royal church. Here you can see the tombs of many British Kings and Queens. Famous poets & writers as Ch. Dickens, W. Shakespeare, Byron & others are buried there.
This place is called the Poet’s Corner. For hundreds of years the Abbey was the home of Benedictine monks. They cultivated farmland around the Abbey. You can see their cloisters & visit the 900 year-old Abbey garden, where the monks grew medicinal herbs. Concerts are now held there in summer.

Tower Bridge built in 1894 is still in daily use. Even today Tower Bridge regulates a large part of the impressive traffic of the Port of London. Due to a special mechanism, the main traffic-way consisting of two parts fixed to two hinges at the ends can be lifted up. In this way the entrance and departure of extremely large vessels is possible and allows them to reach the Pool of London.
London has many big parks, full of trees, flowers and grass. Sit on the grass in the middle of Hyde Park and you will think that you are in the country, miles away. Hyde Park was once the part of a wild and ancient forest, inhabited by wolves, wild bulls and boars. It was fenced off as a royal deer park in Tudor times and later opened to the public.

Buckingham Palace is the official home of the Queen. It’s a busy royal office and state occasions are held there. There are about 600 rooms at the palace on three main floors. When the Queen is staying the Royal Standard flag is flown above the central balcony. Five regiments of Foot Guard mount regular guard outside the palace.
The Guard is changed in the palace forecourt when the Queen is in the residence. The ceremony lasts for about half an hour. Then the flags, the soldiers’ uniforms, the cheering crowds all sparkle in the sunshine – if it’s not raining of course. Слайды 7, 8, 9, 10.
The Tower of London was begun by William the Conqueror in 1078 as a castle and palace. Since then it has been expanded and used as an armoury, a zoo, a royal mint and a notorious prison. The Crown Jewels are kept in the Jewel House at the Tower. A group of ravens live at the Tower.
The tradition goes that if they disappear the building will collapse. The Beefeaters (Yeoman Warders) guard the Tower; they used to be the monarch’s private bodyguards. “Beefeater” was a medieval nickname for well-fed servants. They wear a Tudor style uniform of blue or red. Слайд 11, 12, 13.
Big Ben is the name of the huge clock (and the great bell) in one of the tall towers of the Houses of Parliament. The Clock Tower overlooking Westminster Bridge is 316 ft high and 40 ft square. People are allowed to get inside the Tower so that they can see the works of Big Ben. Слайды 14, 15.
