Transcript Places of Interest in Great Britain
London — the capital of Great Britain is situated on the
Thames River. It is the largest city in Europe with a
population of eight and a quarter million. It is divided into
four parts: the City, Westminster, the West End and the East
End. The City is the business and commercial heart of
London. Many banks, offices and firms are concentrated
there.
Intereting places and
sights
Canary Warf – trading and business
center at the metro station with the
same name. Here it is a lot of shops,
boutiques, pubs and restaurants. This
place is useful to you if you live in East
End.
Well-known Oxford Street. This center
of the big department stores
(necessarily come in Selfriges and
Debenhams), and small boutiques of
all known marks. Here it is possible to
buy everything and if you are late in
London at least for some days can
quite find excellent things at very
pleasant prices for sales. Certainly, first
of all here it makes sense to buy all
British – for example, footwear Clark's,
teddy bears of Teddi and the wellknown English porcelain.
The Tower bridge
The Tower bridge – the
legendary place perfectly
known of the Russian
youth on a song of
Zemfira, has made a little
gloomy impression. The
matter is that there was a
terrible cold wind,
characteristic for
November. But all the
same this place is worthy,
as one of sign in London.
Besides, quite good
panoramic pictures of
Thames and its vicinities
therefrom turn out.
The London Eye
The London Eye – a big
wheel. Huge, with the
convenient closed
booths, it costs directly
on river bank opposite to
Westminster. If to you
will carry with weather
for memory there are
excellent photos of the
center of London.
Sherlock Holmes's
museum on Beckerstreet.
If you the Russian person and
at you the refletion, most
likely, on road will catch itself
on thought that go to Livanov's
museum is developed.
Holmes's museum – absolutely
charming place. Livanov's
photo really hangs in the centre
of the big board with different
Holmes's photos, and even the
queen recogniced that it – the
best.
And the house at all that in
"our" film. The very narrow
creaking short flight of stairs
curls to the fourth floor. On
the top, under a roof, a room
with touching, almost gjel a set
sanitary technicians of the
beginning of 20 centuries,
hardly more low – Watson's
room and nearby a room of
Mrs. Hudson.
Watson in a room has a
wooden box with a ceramic
funnel – as a dry closet.
Strange, but for some reason
only at Watson.
Some rooms are devoted
different plots – there stand,
lie, sit and wax figures from
stories of Konan-Doil hang
down from garret windows.
On the second floor – Holmes's
room, cozy, small, with every
possible banks-bottles. And in
the big general drawing room
in a fireplace live (!) fire burns
and it seems that Holmes with
Watson left five minutes ago to
walk on park Rigent that
through road … On a coffee
table a tube, nearby on a chair a
violin, all in a pleasant disorder
and so on live …
