one of the most
popular cathedrals.
A lot of famous people
are buried inside
Queen Elizabeth I,

The Tower of London
The Tower of London
is the oldest building in
the city built in
the 11-th century. It used
to be a prison,
a fortress, a palace,
a treasury and even
a zoo. The oldest part of
the Tower is the White
tower. Most of the public
displays are in the White
Tower nowadays. They
include a big collection
of armour, jewels and
clothes.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London "The Royal Fortress on
the Thames" - was
started by William the
Conqueror almost
1000 years ago, when
he built the White
Tower on the site of a
Roman fort. Other
kings added smaller
towers, and walls
around the central
keep; the term "Tower
of London" refers to
the whole complex.
The Tower of London
Black ravens live in
the Tower of
London. There is a
legend that
England will be

Tower of London-weapons
knight in armor
Keeping in
mind that the
official name of

Bloody Tower,
where - it's

They disappeared;
he became King
Richard the Third.
Tower Bridge
One of the
London sites
is Tower
Bridge. This
is a bridge
across the
Thames built
because of
the need for
an open
waterway for
large ships.
Tower Bridge
Walk on down to the River
Thames and you will see Tower
Bridge. The high-level walkway
was intended to be a pedestrian
crossing when the bridge was
raised for boats to go through,
but the idea wasn't really
popular.
(Probably too many steps!)
You can get some amazing
views of London from up there.
St. Paul's Cathedral
St. Paul's Cathedral is Sir
Christopher Wren's creation.
It contains a lot of paintings,
sculptures and other works of
art.
London Eye
The London Eye really has to
be included in a trip to
London. The 32 capsules carry
around 10,000 visitors every
day. Because of the way the
capsules are suspended it
allows for a full 360 degreepanorama when you're at the
top of the wheel. Tickets can
be booked online, which really
is the right thing to do as it
saves a lot of time. The
queues look long when you
arrive but they move quickly
as everyone is issued with a
timed ticket.
Don't forget your camera!

the 11-th century. It used
to be a prison,
a fortress, a palace,
a treasury and even
a zoo. The oldest part of
the Tower is the White
tower. Most of the public
displays are in the White
Tower nowadays. They
include a big collection
of armour, jewels and
clothes.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London "The Royal Fortress on
the Thames" - was
started by William the
Conqueror almost
1000 years ago, when
he built the White
Tower on the site of a
Roman fort. Other
kings added smaller
towers, and walls
around the central
keep; the term "Tower
of London" refers to
the whole complex.

Black ravens live in

It is the infamous
Bloody Tower,
where - it's

the Duke of

imprisoned his two
young nephews,
the princes who

They disappeared;
he became King

across the

because of
the need for

Tower Bridge
Walk on down to the River
Thames and you will see Tower

was intended to be a pedestrian
crossing when the bridge was
raised for boats to go through,
but the idea wasn't really
popular.
(Probably too many steps!)
You can get some amazing
views of London from up there.
St. Paul's Cathedral
St. Paul's Cathedral is Sir
Christopher Wren's creation.
It contains a lot of paintings,
sculptures and other works of
art.
London Eye
The London Eye really has to
be included in a trip to
London. The 32 capsules carry
around 10,000 visitors every
day. Because of the way the
capsules are suspended it
allows for a full 360 degreepanorama when you're at the
top of the wheel. Tickets can
be booked online, which really
is the right thing to do as it
saves a lot of time. The

arrived in Trafalgar
Square in 1843, and
commemorates the
one-armed, oneeyed admiral who
died defeating
Napoleon at the
Battle of Trafalgar
in 1805. The column
is 169 feet 5 3/4
inches (51.659

the statue is
actually more than
triple life-size.
Lion Statues
in Trafalgar Square
The four bronze
lions at the base
of the column, by
Edwin Landseer,
didn't arrive until
1868. It's a bit of
a scramble to get

many people
have a friend
take their photo
sitting on top of a
lion!
Westminster Abbey
Westminster Abbey is
one of the most
popular cathedrals.
A lot of famous people
are buried inside
Queen Elizabeth I,
Isaac Newton, Charles
Darwin, William
Shakespeare, Charles
Dickens and many
others.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London
is the oldest building in
the city built in
the 11-th century. It used
to be a prison,
a fortress, a palace,
a treasury and even
a zoo. The oldest part of
the Tower is the White
tower. Most of the public
displays are in the White
Tower nowadays. They
include a big collection
of armour, jewels and
clothes.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London "The Royal Fortress on
the Thames" - was
started by William the
Conqueror almost
1000 years ago, when
he built the White
Tower on the site of a
Roman fort. Other
kings added smaller
towers, and walls
around the central
keep; the term "Tower
of London" refers to
the whole complex.
The Tower of London
Black ravens live in
the Tower of
London. There is a
legend that
England will be
prosperous till the
ravens live behind
the Tower walls. If
one of the ravens
dies, it is replaced
by another.
Tower of London –
Yeoman Warders
The Raven master one of the Yeoman
Warders - tends the
birds; they even
have their own
pens. Visitors will
probably see ravens
on the Tower Green.
Tower of London-weapons
knight in armor
Keeping in
mind that the
official name of
the Tower of
London is "Her
Majesty's Royal
Palace and
Fortress the
Tower of
London", it's no
surprise that
England's
national
collection of
arms and
armour is here.
Tower of London –
Bloody Tower
It is the infamous
Bloody Tower,
where - it's
believed-- in 1483
the Duke of

imprisoned his two
young nephews,
the princes who
were the rightful
heirs to the crown.
They disappeared;
he became King
Richard the Third.
Tower Bridge
One of the
London sites
is Tower
Bridge. This
is a bridge
across the
Thames built
because of
the need for
an open
waterway for
large ships.
Tower Bridge
Walk on down to the River
Thames and you will see Tower
Bridge. The high-level walkway
was intended to be a pedestrian
crossing when the bridge was
raised for boats to go through,
but the idea wasn't really
popular.
(Probably too many steps!)
You can get some amazing
views of London from up there.
St. Paul's Cathedral
St. Paul's Cathedral is Sir
Christopher Wren's creation.
It contains a lot of paintings,
sculptures and other works of
art.
London Eye
The London Eye really has to
be included in a trip to
London. The 32 capsules carry
around 10,000 visitors every
day. Because of the way the
capsules are suspended it
allows for a full 360 degreepanorama when you're at the
top of the wheel. Tickets can
be booked online, which really
is the right thing to do as it
saves a lot of time. The
queues look long when you
arrive but they move quickly
as everyone is issued with a
timed ticket.
Don't forget your camera!

The four bronze
lions at the base
of the column, by

one of the most
popular cathedrals.
A lot of famous people
are buried inside
Queen Elizabeth I,
Isaac Newton, Charles
Darwin, William

others.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London
is the oldest building in
the city built in
the 11-th century. It used
to be a prison,
a fortress, a palace,
a treasury and even
a zoo. The oldest part of
the Tower is the White
tower. Most of the public
displays are in the White
Tower nowadays. They
include a big collection
of armour, jewels and
clothes.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London "The Royal Fortress on
the Thames" - was
started by William the
Conqueror almost
1000 years ago, when
he built the White
Tower on the site of a
Roman fort. Other
kings added smaller
towers, and walls
around the central
keep; the term "Tower
of London" refers to
the whole complex.
The Tower of London
Black ravens live in
the Tower of

It is the infamous
Bloody Tower,
where - it's

Tower Bridge
Walk on down to the River
Thames and you will see Tower
Bridge. The high-level walkway
was intended to be a pedestrian
crossing when the bridge was
raised for boats to go through,
but the idea wasn't really
popular.
(Probably too many steps!)
You can get some amazing
views of London from up there.
St. Paul's Cathedral
St. Paul's Cathedral is Sir
Christopher Wren's creation.
It contains a lot of paintings,
sculptures and other works of
art.
London Eye
The London Eye really has to
be included in a trip to
London. The 32 capsules carry
around 10,000 visitors every
day. Because of the way the
capsules are suspended it
allows for a full 360 degreepanorama when you're at the
top of the wheel. Tickets can
be booked online, which really
is the right thing to do as it
saves a lot of time. The

Europe and consists of two large islands:
Great Britain and the Isle of Ireland, and
about five thousand small islands.
There are four regions in the UК:

is the heart of London.
On special occasions
many people come
to the statue of Eros in
the centre of the Circus.
Trafalgar Square
Trafalgar Square
is famous for the tall
monument in the
centre of it.
The monument,
which is called
Nelson’s Column,
was built to
commemorate the
Battle of Trafalgar
and to honour
Admiral Nelson.
Trafalgar Square
Trafalgar Square
was designed by
John Nash in the
1820s and
constructed in the
1830s. It is both a
tourist attraction and
the main focus for
political
demonstrations.
Every December,
Norway donates a
marvelous Christmas
tree, to thank Britain
for liberation from
the Nazis.
Admiral Nelson's Column
Nelson's Column
arrived in Trafalgar
Square in 1843, and
commemorates the
one-armed, oneeyed admiral who
died defeating
Napoleon at the
Battle of Trafalgar
in 1805. The column
is 169 feet 5 3/4
inches (51.659
meters) high, and
the statue is
actually more than
triple life-size.
Lion Statues
in Trafalgar Square
The four bronze
lions at the base
of the column, by
Edwin Landseer,
didn't arrive until
1868. It's a bit of
a scramble to get
up there, but
many people
have a friend
take their photo
sitting on top of a
lion!
Westminster Abbey
Westminster Abbey is
one of the most
popular cathedrals.
A lot of famous people
are buried inside
Queen Elizabeth I,
Isaac Newton, Charles
Darwin, William
Shakespeare, Charles
Dickens and many
others.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London
is the oldest building in
the city built in
the 11-th century. It used
to be a prison,
a fortress, a palace,
a treasury and even
a zoo. The oldest part of
the Tower is the White
tower. Most of the public
displays are in the White
Tower nowadays. They
include a big collection
of armour, jewels and
clothes.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London "The Royal Fortress on
the Thames" - was
started by William the
Conqueror almost
1000 years ago, when
he built the White
Tower on the site of a
Roman fort. Other
kings added smaller
towers, and walls
around the central
keep; the term "Tower
of London" refers to
the whole complex.
The Tower of London
Black ravens live in
the Tower of
London. There is a
legend that
England will be
prosperous till the
ravens live behind
the Tower walls. If
one of the ravens
dies, it is replaced
by another.
Tower of London –
Yeoman Warders
The Raven master one of the Yeoman
Warders - tends the
birds; they even
have their own
pens. Visitors will
probably see ravens
on the Tower Green.
Tower of London-weapons
knight in armor
Keeping in
mind that the
official name of
the Tower of
London is "Her
Majesty's Royal
Palace and
Fortress the
Tower of
London", it's no
surprise that
England's
national
collection of
arms and
armour is here.
Tower of London –
Bloody Tower
It is the infamous
Bloody Tower,
where - it's
believed-- in 1483
the Duke of
Gloucester
imprisoned his two
young nephews,
the princes who
were the rightful
heirs to the crown.
They disappeared;
he became King
Richard the Third.
Tower Bridge
One of the
London sites
is Tower
Bridge. This
is a bridge
across the
Thames built
because of
the need for
an open
waterway for
large ships.
Tower Bridge
Walk on down to the River
Thames and you will see Tower
Bridge. The high-level walkway
was intended to be a pedestrian
crossing when the bridge was
raised for boats to go through,
but the idea wasn't really
popular.
(Probably too many steps!)
You can get some amazing
views of London from up there.
St. Paul's Cathedral
St. Paul's Cathedral is Sir
Christopher Wren's creation.
It contains a lot of paintings,
sculptures and other works of
art.
London Eye
The London Eye really has to
be included in a trip to
London. The 32 capsules carry
around 10,000 visitors every
day. Because of the way the
capsules are suspended it
allows for a full 360 degreepanorama when you're at the
top of the wheel. Tickets can
be booked online, which really
is the right thing to do as it
saves a lot of time. The
queues look long when you
arrive but they move quickly
as everyone is issued with a
timed ticket.
Don't forget your camera!

the statue is
actually more than
triple life-size.
Lion Statues
in Trafalgar Square
The four bronze
lions at the base
of the column, by
Edwin Landseer,
didn't arrive until
1868. It's a bit of
a scramble to get
up there, but
many people
have a friend
take their photo
sitting on top of a
lion!
Westminster Abbey
Westminster Abbey is
one of the most
popular cathedrals.
A lot of famous people
are buried inside
Queen Elizabeth I,
Isaac Newton, Charles
Darwin, William
Shakespeare, Charles
Dickens and many
others.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London
is the oldest building in
the city built in
the 11-th century. It used
to be a prison,
a fortress, a palace,
a treasury and even
a zoo. The oldest part of
the Tower is the White
tower. Most of the public
displays are in the White
Tower nowadays. They
include a big collection
of armour, jewels and
clothes.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London "The Royal Fortress on
the Thames" - was
started by William the
Conqueror almost
1000 years ago, when
he built the White
Tower on the site of a
Roman fort. Other
kings added smaller
towers, and walls
around the central
keep; the term "Tower
of London" refers to
the whole complex.
The Tower of London
Black ravens live in
the Tower of
London. There is a
legend that
England will be
prosperous till the
ravens live behind
the Tower walls. If
one of the ravens
dies, it is replaced
by another.
Tower of London –
Yeoman Warders
The Raven master one of the Yeoman
Warders - tends the
birds; they even
have their own
pens. Visitors will
probably see ravens
on the Tower Green.
Tower of London-weapons

Keeping in
mind that the
official name of
the Tower of
London is "Her

Palace and
Fortress the
Tower of
London", it's no
surprise that
England's
national
collection of
arms and
armour is here.
Tower of London –
Bloody Tower
It is the infamous
Bloody Tower,
where - it's
believed-- in 1483
the Duke of

imprisoned his two
young nephews,
the princes who
were the rightful
heirs to the crown.
They disappeared;
he became King
Richard the Third.
Tower Bridge
One of the
London sites
is Tower
Bridge. This
is a bridge
across the
Thames built
because of
the need for
an open
waterway for
large ships.
Tower Bridge
Walk on down to the River
Thames and you will see Tower
Bridge. The high-level walkway
was intended to be a pedestrian
crossing when the bridge was
raised for boats to go through,
but the idea wasn't really
popular.
(Probably too many steps!)
You can get some amazing
views of London from up there.
St. Paul's Cathedral
St. Paul's Cathedral is Sir
Christopher Wren's creation.
It contains a lot of paintings,
sculptures and other works of
art.
London Eye
The London Eye really has to
be included in a trip to
London. The 32 capsules carry
around 10,000 visitors every
day. Because of the way the
capsules are suspended it
allows for a full 360 degreepanorama when you're at the
top of the wheel. Tickets can
be booked online, which really
is the right thing to do as it
saves a lot of time. The
queues look long when you
arrive but they move quickly
as everyone is issued with a
timed ticket.
Don't forget your camera!

The official name of the country is
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Northern Ireland.
The country is situated in the north-west of
Europe and consists of two large islands:
Great Britain and the Isle of Ireland, and
about five thousand small islands.
There are four regions in the UК:

came from King James, whose name is "Jacobus" in
Latin, and "Jacob" in Hebrew.

is the heart of London.
On special occasions
many people come
to the statue of Eros in
the centre of the Circus.
Trafalgar Square
Trafalgar Square
is famous for the tall
monument in the
centre of it.
The monument,
which is called
Nelson’s Column,
was built to
commemorate the
Battle of Trafalgar
and to honour
Admiral Nelson.
Trafalgar Square
Trafalgar Square
was designed by
John Nash in the
1820s and
constructed in the
1830s. It is both a
tourist attraction and
the main focus for
political
demonstrations.
Every December,
Norway donates a
marvelous Christmas
tree, to thank Britain
for liberation from
the Nazis.
Admiral Nelson's Column
Nelson's Column
arrived in Trafalgar
Square in 1843, and
commemorates the
one-armed, oneeyed admiral who
died defeating
Napoleon at the
Battle of Trafalgar
in 1805. The column
is 169 feet 5 3/4
inches (51.659
meters) high, and
the statue is
actually more than
triple life-size.
Lion Statues
in Trafalgar Square
The four bronze
lions at the base
of the column, by
Edwin Landseer,
didn't arrive until
1868. It's a bit of
a scramble to get

many people
have a friend
take their photo
sitting on top of a
lion!
Westminster Abbey
Westminster Abbey is
one of the most
popular cathedrals.
A lot of famous people
are buried inside
Queen Elizabeth I,
Isaac Newton, Charles
Darwin, William
Shakespeare, Charles
Dickens and many
others.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London
is the oldest building in
the city built in
the 11-th century. It used
to be a prison,
a fortress, a palace,
a treasury and even
a zoo. The oldest part of
the Tower is the White
tower. Most of the public
displays are in the White
Tower nowadays. They
include a big collection
of armour, jewels and
clothes.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London "The Royal Fortress on
the Thames" - was
started by William the
Conqueror almost
1000 years ago, when
he built the White
Tower on the site of a
Roman fort. Other
kings added smaller
towers, and walls
around the central
keep; the term "Tower
of London" refers to
the whole complex.
The Tower of London
Black ravens live in
the Tower of
London. There is a
legend that
England will be
prosperous till the
ravens live behind
the Tower walls. If
one of the ravens
dies, it is replaced
by another.
Tower of London –
Yeoman Warders
The Raven master one of the Yeoman
Warders - tends the
birds; they even
have their own
pens. Visitors will
probably see ravens
on the Tower Green.
Tower of London-weapons
knight in armor
Keeping in
mind that the
official name of
the Tower of
London is "Her
Majesty's Royal
Palace and
Fortress the
Tower of
London", it's no
surprise that
England's
national
collection of
arms and
armour is here.
Tower of London –
Bloody Tower
It is the infamous
Bloody Tower,
where - it's
believed-- in 1483
the Duke of
Gloucester
imprisoned his two
young nephews,
the princes who
were the rightful
heirs to the crown.
They disappeared;
he became King
Richard the Third.
Tower Bridge
One of the
London sites
is Tower
Bridge. This
is a bridge
across the
Thames built
because of
the need for
an open
waterway for
large ships.
Tower Bridge
Walk on down to the River
Thames and you will see Tower
Bridge. The high-level walkway
was intended to be a pedestrian
crossing when the bridge was
raised for boats to go through,
but the idea wasn't really
popular.
(Probably too many steps!)
You can get some amazing
views of London from up there.
St. Paul's Cathedral
St. Paul's Cathedral is Sir
Christopher Wren's creation.
It contains a lot of paintings,
sculptures and other works of
art.
London Eye
The London Eye really has to
be included in a trip to
London. The 32 capsules carry
around 10,000 visitors every
day. Because of the way the
capsules are suspended it
allows for a full 360 degreepanorama when you're at the
top of the wheel. Tickets can
be booked online, which really
is the right thing to do as it
saves a lot of time. The
queues look long when you
arrive but they move quickly
as everyone is issued with a
timed ticket.
Don't forget your camera!

The country is situated in the north-west of
Europe and consists of two large islands:
Great Britain and the Isle of Ireland, and
about five thousand small islands.
There are four regions in the UК:

is the heart of London.
On special occasions
many people come
to the statue of Eros in
the centre of the Circus.
Trafalgar Square
Trafalgar Square
is famous for the tall
monument in the
centre of it.
The monument,
which is called
Nelson’s Column,
was built to
commemorate the
Battle of Trafalgar
and to honour
Admiral Nelson.
Trafalgar Square
Trafalgar Square
was designed by
John Nash in the
1820s and
constructed in the
1830s. It is both a
tourist attraction and
the main focus for
political
demonstrations.
Every December,
Norway donates a
marvelous Christmas
tree, to thank Britain
for liberation from
the Nazis.
Admiral Nelson's Column
Nelson's Column
arrived in Trafalgar
Square in 1843, and
commemorates the
one-armed, oneeyed admiral who
died defeating
Napoleon at the
Battle of Trafalgar
in 1805. The column
is 169 feet 5 3/4
inches (51.659
meters) high, and
the statue is
actually more than
triple life-size.
Lion Statues
in Trafalgar Square
The four bronze
lions at the base
of the column, by
Edwin Landseer,
didn't arrive until
1868. It's a bit of
a scramble to get

many people
have a friend
take their photo
sitting on top of a
lion!
Westminster Abbey
Westminster Abbey is
one of the most
popular cathedrals.
A lot of famous people
are buried inside
Queen Elizabeth I,
Isaac Newton, Charles
Darwin, William
Shakespeare, Charles
Dickens and many
others.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London
is the oldest building in
the city built in
the 11-th century. It used
to be a prison,
a fortress, a palace,
a treasury and even
a zoo. The oldest part of
the Tower is the White
tower. Most of the public
displays are in the White
Tower nowadays. They
include a big collection
of armour, jewels and
clothes.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London "The Royal Fortress on
the Thames" - was
started by William the
Conqueror almost
1000 years ago, when
he built the White
Tower on the site of a
Roman fort. Other
kings added smaller
towers, and walls
around the central
keep; the term "Tower
of London" refers to
the whole complex.
The Tower of London
Black ravens live in
the Tower of
London. There is a
legend that
England will be
prosperous till the
ravens live behind
the Tower walls. If
one of the ravens
dies, it is replaced
by another.
Tower of London –
Yeoman Warders
The Raven master one of the Yeoman
Warders - tends the
birds; they even
have their own
pens. Visitors will
probably see ravens
on the Tower Green.
Tower of London-weapons
knight in armor
Keeping in
mind that the
official name of
the Tower of
London is "Her
Majesty's Royal
Palace and
Fortress the
Tower of
London", it's no
surprise that
England's
national
collection of
arms and
armour is here.
Tower of London –
Bloody Tower
It is the infamous
Bloody Tower,
where - it's
believed-- in 1483
the Duke of
Gloucester
imprisoned his two
young nephews,
the princes who
were the rightful
heirs to the crown.
They disappeared;
he became King
Richard the Third.
Tower Bridge
One of the
London sites
is Tower
Bridge. This
is a bridge
across the
Thames built
because of
the need for
an open
waterway for
large ships.
Tower Bridge
Walk on down to the River
Thames and you will see Tower
Bridge. The high-level walkway
was intended to be a pedestrian
crossing when the bridge was
raised for boats to go through,
but the idea wasn't really
popular.
(Probably too many steps!)
You can get some amazing
views of London from up there.
St. Paul's Cathedral
St. Paul's Cathedral is Sir
Christopher Wren's creation.
It contains a lot of paintings,
sculptures and other works of
art.
London Eye
The London Eye really has to
be included in a trip to
London. The 32 capsules carry
around 10,000 visitors every
day. Because of the way the
capsules are suspended it
allows for a full 360 degreepanorama when you're at the
top of the wheel. Tickets can
be booked online, which really
is the right thing to do as it
saves a lot of time. The
queues look long when you
arrive but they move quickly
as everyone is issued with a
timed ticket.

displays are in the White
Tower nowadays. They
include a big collection
of armour, jewels and
clothes.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London "The Royal Fortress on
the Thames" - was
started by William the
Conqueror almost
1000 years ago, when
he built the White
Tower on the site of a
Roman fort. Other

towers, and walls
around the central
keep; the term "Tower
of London" refers to
the whole complex.

crossing when the bridge was
raised for boats to go through,
but the idea wasn't really
popular.
(Probably too many steps!)
You can get some amazing
views of London from up there.
St. Paul's Cathedral
St. Paul's Cathedral is Sir
Christopher Wren's creation.
It contains a lot of paintings,
sculptures and other works of

London Eye
The London Eye really has to
be included in a trip to
London. The 32 capsules carry
around 10,000 visitors every
day. Because of the way the
capsules are suspended it
allows for a full 360 degreepanorama when you're at the
top of the wheel. Tickets can
be booked online, which really
is the right thing to do as it
saves a lot of time. The
queues look long when you
arrive but they move quickly
as everyone is issued with a
timed ticket.
Don't forget your camera!

The London Eye really has to
be included in a trip to

around 10,000 visitors every

capsules are suspended it
allows for a full 360 degreepanorama when you're at the
top of the wheel. Tickets can
be booked online, which really
is the right thing to do as it
saves a lot of time. The
queues look long when you
arrive but they move quickly
as everyone is issued with a

displays are in the White
Tower nowadays. They
include a big collection
of armour, jewels and

The Tower of London
The Tower of London "The Royal Fortress on
the Thames" - was
started by William the
Conqueror almost
1000 years ago, when
he built the White
Tower on the site of a
Roman fort. Other
kings added smaller
towers, and walls
around the central
keep; the term "Tower
of London" refers to
the whole complex.

You can get some amazing
views of London from up there.
St. Paul's Cathedral
St. Paul's Cathedral is Sir

around 10,000 visitors every
day. Because of the way the
capsules are suspended it
allows for a full 360 degreepanorama when you're at the
top of the wheel. Tickets can
be booked online, which really
is the right thing to do as it
saves a lot of time. The

official name of
the Tower of
London is "Her
Majesty's Royal
Palace and
Fortress the
Tower of
London", it's no
surprise that
England's
national
collection of
arms and
armour is here.
Tower of London –
Bloody Tower
It is the infamous
Bloody Tower,
where - it's
believed-- in 1483
the Duke of
Gloucester
imprisoned his two
young nephews,
the princes who
were the rightful
heirs to the crown.
They disappeared;
he became King
Richard the Third.
Tower Bridge
One of the
London sites
is Tower
Bridge. This
is a bridge
across the
Thames built
because of
the need for
an open
waterway for
large ships.
Tower Bridge
Walk on down to the River
Thames and you will see Tower
Bridge. The high-level walkway
was intended to be a pedestrian
crossing when the bridge was
raised for boats to go through,
but the idea wasn't really
popular.
(Probably too many steps!)
You can get some amazing
views of London from up there.
St. Paul's Cathedral
St. Paul's Cathedral is Sir
Christopher Wren's creation.
It contains a lot of paintings,
sculptures and other works of
art.
London Eye
The London Eye really has to
be included in a trip to
London. The 32 capsules carry
around 10,000 visitors every
day. Because of the way the
capsules are suspended it
allows for a full 360 degreepanorama when you're at the
top of the wheel. Tickets can
be booked online, which really
is the right thing to do as it
saves a lot of time. The
queues look long when you
arrive but they move quickly
as everyone is issued with a
timed ticket.
Don't forget your camera!

one of the most
popular cathedrals.
A lot of famous people

The Tower of London
The Tower of London
is the oldest building in
the city built in
the 11-th century. It used
to be a prison,
a fortress, a palace,
a treasury and even
a zoo. The oldest part of
the Tower is the White
tower. Most of the public
displays are in the White
Tower nowadays. They
include a big collection
of armour, jewels and
clothes.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London "The Royal Fortress on
the Thames" - was
started by William the
Conqueror almost
1000 years ago, when
he built the White
Tower on the site of a
Roman fort. Other
kings added smaller
towers, and walls
around the central
keep; the term "Tower
of London" refers to
the whole complex.
The Tower of London
Black ravens live in
the Tower of
London. There is a
legend that

It is the infamous
Bloody Tower,
where - it's

They disappeared;
he became King
Richard the Third.
Tower Bridge
One of the
London sites
is Tower
Bridge. This
is a bridge
across the
Thames built
because of
the need for
an open
waterway for
large ships.
Tower Bridge
Walk on down to the River
Thames and you will see Tower
Bridge. The high-level walkway
was intended to be a pedestrian
crossing when the bridge was
raised for boats to go through,
but the idea wasn't really
popular.
(Probably too many steps!)
You can get some amazing
views of London from up there.
St. Paul's Cathedral
St. Paul's Cathedral is Sir
Christopher Wren's creation.
It contains a lot of paintings,
sculptures and other works of
art.
London Eye
The London Eye really has to
be included in a trip to
London. The 32 capsules carry
around 10,000 visitors every
day. Because of the way the
capsules are suspended it
allows for a full 360 degreepanorama when you're at the
top of the wheel. Tickets can
be booked online, which really
is the right thing to do as it
saves a lot of time. The
queues look long when you
arrive but they move quickly
as everyone is issued with a
timed ticket.
Don't forget your camera!

the Thames" - was
started by William the
Conqueror almost
1000 years ago, when
he built the White
Tower on the site of a
Roman fort. Other
kings added smaller
towers, and walls
around the central
keep; the term "Tower
of London" refers to
the whole complex.
The Tower of London
Black ravens live in
the Tower of
London. There is a
legend that
England will be
prosperous till the
ravens live behind
the Tower walls. If
one of the ravens
dies, it is replaced
by another.
Tower of London –
Yeoman Warders
The Raven master one of the Yeoman
Warders - tends the
birds; they even
have their own
pens. Visitors will
probably see ravens
on the Tower Green.
Tower of London-weapons
knight in armor
Keeping in
mind that the
official name of
the Tower of
London is "Her
Majesty's Royal
Palace and
Fortress the
Tower of
London", it's no
surprise that
England's
national
collection of
arms and
armour is here.
Tower of London –
Bloody Tower
It is the infamous
Bloody Tower,
where - it's
believed-- in 1483
the Duke of
Gloucester
imprisoned his two
young nephews,
the princes who
were the rightful
heirs to the crown.
They disappeared;
he became King
Richard the Third.
Tower Bridge
One of the
London sites
is Tower
Bridge. This
is a bridge
across the
Thames built
because of
the need for
an open
waterway for
large ships.
Tower Bridge
Walk on down to the River
Thames and you will see Tower
Bridge. The high-level walkway
was intended to be a pedestrian
crossing when the bridge was
raised for boats to go through,
but the idea wasn't really
popular.
(Probably too many steps!)
You can get some amazing
views of London from up there.
St. Paul's Cathedral
St. Paul's Cathedral is Sir
Christopher Wren's creation.
It contains a lot of paintings,
sculptures and other works of
art.
London Eye
The London Eye really has to
be included in a trip to
London. The 32 capsules carry
around 10,000 visitors every
day. Because of the way the
capsules are suspended it
allows for a full 360 degreepanorama when you're at the
top of the wheel. Tickets can
be booked online, which really
is the right thing to do as it
saves a lot of time. The
queues look long when you
arrive but they move quickly
as everyone is issued with a
timed ticket.
Don't forget your camera!

Nelson's Column
arrived in Trafalgar
Square in 1843, and
commemorates the
one-armed, oneeyed admiral who
died defeating
Napoleon at the
Battle of Trafalgar
in 1805. The column
is 169 feet 5 3/4
inches (51.659

the statue is
actually more than
triple life-size.
Lion Statues
in Trafalgar Square
The four bronze
lions at the base
of the column, by
Edwin Landseer,

1868. It's a bit of
a scramble to get

many people
have a friend
take their photo
sitting on top of a
lion!
Westminster Abbey
Westminster Abbey is
one of the most
popular cathedrals.
A lot of famous people
are buried inside
Queen Elizabeth I,
Isaac Newton, Charles
Darwin, William
Shakespeare, Charles
Dickens and many
others.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London
is the oldest building in
the city built in
the 11-th century. It used
to be a prison,
a fortress, a palace,
a treasury and even
a zoo. The oldest part of
the Tower is the White
tower. Most of the public
displays are in the White
Tower nowadays. They
include a big collection
of armour, jewels and
clothes.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London "The Royal Fortress on
the Thames" - was
started by William the
Conqueror almost
1000 years ago, when
he built the White
Tower on the site of a
Roman fort. Other
kings added smaller
towers, and walls
around the central
keep; the term "Tower
of London" refers to
the whole complex.
The Tower of London
Black ravens live in
the Tower of
London. There is a
legend that
England will be
prosperous till the
ravens live behind
the Tower walls. If
one of the ravens
dies, it is replaced
by another.
Tower of London –
Yeoman Warders
The Raven master one of the Yeoman
Warders - tends the
birds; they even
have their own
pens. Visitors will
probably see ravens
on the Tower Green.
Tower of London-weapons
knight in armor
Keeping in
mind that the
official name of
the Tower of
London is "Her
Majesty's Royal
Palace and
Fortress the
Tower of
London", it's no
surprise that
England's
national
collection of
arms and
armour is here.
Tower of London –
Bloody Tower
It is the infamous
Bloody Tower,
where - it's
believed-- in 1483
the Duke of

imprisoned his two
young nephews,
the princes who
were the rightful
heirs to the crown.
They disappeared;
he became King
Richard the Third.
Tower Bridge
One of the
London sites
is Tower
Bridge. This
is a bridge
across the
Thames built
because of
the need for
an open
waterway for
large ships.
Tower Bridge
Walk on down to the River
Thames and you will see Tower
Bridge. The high-level walkway
was intended to be a pedestrian
crossing when the bridge was
raised for boats to go through,
but the idea wasn't really
popular.
(Probably too many steps!)
You can get some amazing
views of London from up there.
St. Paul's Cathedral
St. Paul's Cathedral is Sir
Christopher Wren's creation.
It contains a lot of paintings,
sculptures and other works of
art.
London Eye
The London Eye really has to
be included in a trip to
London. The 32 capsules carry
around 10,000 visitors every
day. Because of the way the
capsules are suspended it
allows for a full 360 degreepanorama when you're at the
top of the wheel. Tickets can
be booked online, which really
is the right thing to do as it
saves a lot of time. The
queues look long when you
arrive but they move quickly
as everyone is issued with a
timed ticket.
Don't forget your camera!

Westminster Abbey
Westminster Abbey is
one of the most
popular cathedrals.
A lot of famous people
are buried inside
Queen Elizabeth I,
Isaac Newton, Charles
Darwin, William
Shakespeare, Charles
Dickens and many
others.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London
is the oldest building in
the city built in
the 11-th century. It used
to be a prison,
a fortress, a palace,
a treasury and even
a zoo. The oldest part of
the Tower is the White
tower. Most of the public
displays are in the White
Tower nowadays. They
include a big collection
of armour, jewels and
clothes.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London "The Royal Fortress on
the Thames" - was
started by William the
Conqueror almost
1000 years ago, when
he built the White
Tower on the site of a
Roman fort. Other
kings added smaller
towers, and walls
around the central
keep; the term "Tower
of London" refers to
the whole complex.
The Tower of London
Black ravens live in
the Tower of
London. There is a
legend that
England will be
prosperous till the
ravens live behind
the Tower walls. If
one of the ravens
dies, it is replaced
by another.
Tower of London –

The Raven master one of the Yeoman
Warders - tends the
birds; they even
have their own
pens. Visitors will
probably see ravens
on the Tower Green.
Tower of London-weapons

Keeping in
mind that the
official name of
the Tower of
London is "Her
Majesty's Royal
Palace and
Fortress the
Tower of
London", it's no
surprise that
England's
national
collection of
arms and
armour is here.
Tower of London –
Bloody Tower
It is the infamous
Bloody Tower,
where - it's
believed-- in 1483
the Duke of
Gloucester
imprisoned his two
young nephews,
the princes who
were the rightful
heirs to the crown.
They disappeared;
he became King
Richard the Third.
Tower Bridge
One of the
London sites
is Tower
Bridge. This
is a bridge
across the
Thames built
because of
the need for
an open
waterway for
large ships.
Tower Bridge
Walk on down to the River
Thames and you will see Tower
Bridge. The high-level walkway
was intended to be a pedestrian
crossing when the bridge was
raised for boats to go through,
but the idea wasn't really
popular.
(Probably too many steps!)
You can get some amazing
views of London from up there.
St. Paul's Cathedral
St. Paul's Cathedral is Sir
Christopher Wren's creation.
It contains a lot of paintings,
sculptures and other works of
art.
London Eye
The London Eye really has to
be included in a trip to
London. The 32 capsules carry
around 10,000 visitors every
day. Because of the way the
capsules are suspended it
allows for a full 360 degreepanorama when you're at the
top of the wheel. Tickets can
be booked online, which really
is the right thing to do as it
saves a lot of time. The
queues look long when you
arrive but they move quickly
as everyone is issued with a
timed ticket.
Don't forget your camera!

Northern Ireland.
The country is situated in the north-west of
Europe and consists of two large islands:
Great Britain and the Isle of Ireland, and
about five thousand small islands.
There are four regions in the UК:

The Union flag - Union Jack
The flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and

Every December,
Norway donates a
marvelous Christmas
tree, to thank Britain
for liberation from
the Nazis.
Admiral Nelson's Column
Nelson's Column
arrived in Trafalgar
Square in 1843, and
commemorates the
one-armed, oneeyed admiral who
died defeating
Napoleon at the
Battle of Trafalgar
in 1805. The column
is 169 feet 5 3/4
inches (51.659
meters) high, and
the statue is
actually more than
triple life-size.
Lion Statues
in Trafalgar Square
The four bronze
lions at the base
of the column, by
Edwin Landseer,
didn't arrive until
1868. It's a bit of
a scramble to get

many people
have a friend
take their photo
sitting on top of a
lion!
Westminster Abbey
Westminster Abbey is
one of the most
popular cathedrals.
A lot of famous people
are buried inside
Queen Elizabeth I,
Isaac Newton, Charles
Darwin, William
Shakespeare, Charles
Dickens and many
others.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London
is the oldest building in
the city built in
the 11-th century. It used
to be a prison,
a fortress, a palace,
a treasury and even
a zoo. The oldest part of
the Tower is the White
tower. Most of the public
displays are in the White
Tower nowadays. They
include a big collection
of armour, jewels and
clothes.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London "The Royal Fortress on
the Thames" - was
started by William the
Conqueror almost
1000 years ago, when
he built the White
Tower on the site of a
Roman fort. Other
kings added smaller
towers, and walls
around the central
keep; the term "Tower
of London" refers to
the whole complex.
The Tower of London
Black ravens live in
the Tower of
London. There is a
legend that
England will be
prosperous till the
ravens live behind
the Tower walls. If
one of the ravens
dies, it is replaced
by another.
Tower of London –
Yeoman Warders
The Raven master one of the Yeoman
Warders - tends the
birds; they even
have their own
pens. Visitors will
probably see ravens
on the Tower Green.
Tower of London-weapons
knight in armor
Keeping in
mind that the
official name of
the Tower of
London is "Her
Majesty's Royal
Palace and
Fortress the
Tower of
London", it's no
surprise that
England's
national
collection of
arms and
armour is here.
Tower of London –
Bloody Tower
It is the infamous
Bloody Tower,
where - it's
believed-- in 1483
the Duke of

imprisoned his two
young nephews,
the princes who
were the rightful
heirs to the crown.
They disappeared;
he became King
Richard the Third.
Tower Bridge
One of the
London sites
is Tower
Bridge. This
is a bridge
across the
Thames built
because of
the need for
an open
waterway for
large ships.
Tower Bridge
Walk on down to the River
Thames and you will see Tower
Bridge. The high-level walkway
was intended to be a pedestrian
crossing when the bridge was
raised for boats to go through,
but the idea wasn't really
popular.
(Probably too many steps!)
You can get some amazing
views of London from up there.
St. Paul's Cathedral
St. Paul's Cathedral is Sir
Christopher Wren's creation.
It contains a lot of paintings,
sculptures and other works of
art.
London Eye
The London Eye really has to
be included in a trip to
London. The 32 capsules carry
around 10,000 visitors every
day. Because of the way the
capsules are suspended it
allows for a full 360 degreepanorama when you're at the
top of the wheel. Tickets can
be booked online, which really
is the right thing to do as it
saves a lot of time. The
queues look long when you
arrive but they move quickly
as everyone is issued with a
timed ticket.
Don't forget your camera!

in Trafalgar Square
The four bronze
lions at the base
of the column, by

one of the most
popular cathedrals.
A lot of famous people
are buried inside
Queen Elizabeth I,
Isaac Newton, Charles

The Tower of London
The Tower of London
is the oldest building in
the city built in
the 11-th century. It used
to be a prison,
a fortress, a palace,
a treasury and even
a zoo. The oldest part of
the Tower is the White
tower. Most of the public
displays are in the White
Tower nowadays. They
include a big collection
of armour, jewels and
clothes.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London "The Royal Fortress on
the Thames" - was
started by William the
Conqueror almost
1000 years ago, when
he built the White
Tower on the site of a
Roman fort. Other
kings added smaller
towers, and walls
around the central
keep; the term "Tower
of London" refers to
the whole complex.

crossing when the bridge was
raised for boats to go through,
but the idea wasn't really
popular.
(Probably too many steps!)
You can get some amazing
views of London from up there.
St. Paul's Cathedral
St. Paul's Cathedral is Sir
Christopher Wren's creation.
It contains a lot of paintings,
sculptures and other works of

The London Eye really has to
be included in a trip to

around 10,000 visitors every
day. Because of the way the
capsules are suspended it
allows for a full 360 degreepanorama when you're at the
top of the wheel. Tickets can
be booked online, which really
is the right thing to do as it
saves a lot of time. The

to the statue of Eros in
the centre of the Circus.
Trafalgar Square
Trafalgar Square

monument in the
centre of it.
The monument,
which is called
Nelson’s Column,
was built to
commemorate the

and to honour
Admiral Nelson.
Trafalgar Square
Trafalgar Square
was designed by
John Nash in the
1820s and
constructed in the

Every December,
Norway donates a
marvelous Christmas
tree, to thank Britain
for liberation from
the Nazis.
Admiral Nelson's Column
Nelson's Column
arrived in Trafalgar
Square in 1843, and
commemorates the
one-armed, oneeyed admiral who
died defeating
Napoleon at the
Battle of Trafalgar
in 1805. The column
is 169 feet 5 3/4
inches (51.659
meters) high, and
the statue is
actually more than
triple life-size.
Lion Statues
in Trafalgar Square
The four bronze
lions at the base
of the column, by

have a friend
take their photo
sitting on top of a
lion!
Westminster Abbey
Westminster Abbey is
one of the most
popular cathedrals.
A lot of famous people
are buried inside
Queen Elizabeth I,
Isaac Newton, Charles
Darwin, William

others.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London
is the oldest building in
the city built in
the 11-th century. It used
to be a prison,
a fortress, a palace,
a treasury and even
a zoo. The oldest part of
the Tower is the White
tower. Most of the public
displays are in the White
Tower nowadays. They
include a big collection
of armour, jewels and
clothes.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London "The Royal Fortress on
the Thames" - was
started by William the
Conqueror almost
1000 years ago, when
he built the White
Tower on the site of a
Roman fort. Other
kings added smaller
towers, and walls
around the central
keep; the term "Tower
of London" refers to
the whole complex.
The Tower of London
Black ravens live in
the Tower of
London. There is a
legend that
England will be
prosperous till the
ravens live behind
the Tower walls. If
one of the ravens
dies, it is replaced
by another.
Tower of London –
Yeoman Warders
The Raven master one of the Yeoman
Warders - tends the

Tower of London-weapons
knight in armor
Keeping in
mind that the
official name of
the Tower of
London is "Her
Majesty's Royal
Palace and
Fortress the
Tower of
London", it's no
surprise that
England's
national
collection of
arms and
armour is here.
Tower of London –
Bloody Tower
It is the infamous
Bloody Tower,
where - it's
believed-- in 1483
the Duke of

heirs to the crown.
They disappeared;
he became King
Richard the Third.
Tower Bridge
One of the
London sites
is Tower
Bridge. This
is a bridge
across the
Thames built
because of
the need for
an open
waterway for
large ships.
Tower Bridge
Walk on down to the River
Thames and you will see Tower
Bridge. The high-level walkway
was intended to be a pedestrian
crossing when the bridge was
raised for boats to go through,
but the idea wasn't really
popular.
(Probably too many steps!)
You can get some amazing
views of London from up there.
St. Paul's Cathedral
St. Paul's Cathedral is Sir
Christopher Wren's creation.
It contains a lot of paintings,
sculptures and other works of
art.
London Eye
The London Eye really has to
be included in a trip to
London. The 32 capsules carry
around 10,000 visitors every
day. Because of the way the
capsules are suspended it
allows for a full 360 degreepanorama when you're at the
top of the wheel. Tickets can
be booked online, which really
is the right thing to do as it
saves a lot of time. The
queues look long when you
arrive but they move quickly
as everyone is issued with a
timed ticket.
Don't forget your camera!

Northern Ireland.
The country is situated in the north-west of
Europe and consists of two large islands:
Great Britain and the Isle of Ireland, and
about five thousand small islands.
There are four regions in the UК:

Piccadilly Circus
Piccadilly Circus
is the heart of London.
On special occasions
many people come
to the statue of Eros in
the centre of the Circus.
Trafalgar Square
Trafalgar Square
is famous for the tall
monument in the
centre of it.
The monument,
which is called
Nelson’s Column,
was built to
commemorate the
Battle of Trafalgar
and to honour
Admiral Nelson.
Trafalgar Square
Trafalgar Square
was designed by
John Nash in the
1820s and
constructed in the
1830s. It is both a
tourist attraction and
the main focus for
political
demonstrations.
Every December,
Norway donates a
marvelous Christmas
tree, to thank Britain
for liberation from
the Nazis.
Admiral Nelson's Column
Nelson's Column
arrived in Trafalgar
Square in 1843, and
commemorates the
one-armed, oneeyed admiral who
died defeating
Napoleon at the
Battle of Trafalgar
in 1805. The column
is 169 feet 5 3/4
inches (51.659
meters) high, and
the statue is
actually more than
triple life-size.
Lion Statues
in Trafalgar Square
The four bronze
lions at the base
of the column, by
Edwin Landseer,
didn't arrive until
1868. It's a bit of
a scramble to get
up there, but
many people
have a friend
take their photo
sitting on top of a
lion!
Westminster Abbey
Westminster Abbey is
one of the most
popular cathedrals.
A lot of famous people
are buried inside
Queen Elizabeth I,
Isaac Newton, Charles
Darwin, William
Shakespeare, Charles
Dickens and many
others.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London
is the oldest building in
the city built in
the 11-th century. It used
to be a prison,
a fortress, a palace,
a treasury and even
a zoo. The oldest part of
the Tower is the White
tower. Most of the public
displays are in the White
Tower nowadays. They
include a big collection
of armour, jewels and
clothes.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London "The Royal Fortress on
the Thames" - was
started by William the
Conqueror almost
1000 years ago, when
he built the White
Tower on the site of a
Roman fort. Other
kings added smaller
towers, and walls
around the central
keep; the term "Tower
of London" refers to
the whole complex.
The Tower of London
Black ravens live in
the Tower of
London. There is a
legend that
England will be
prosperous till the
ravens live behind
the Tower walls. If
one of the ravens
dies, it is replaced
by another.
Tower of London –
Yeoman Warders
The Raven master one of the Yeoman
Warders - tends the
birds; they even
have their own
pens. Visitors will
probably see ravens
on the Tower Green.
Tower of London-weapons
knight in armor
Keeping in
mind that the
official name of
the Tower of
London is "Her
Majesty's Royal
Palace and
Fortress the
Tower of
London", it's no
surprise that
England's
national
collection of
arms and
armour is here.
Tower of London –
Bloody Tower
It is the infamous
Bloody Tower,
where - it's
believed-- in 1483
the Duke of
Gloucester
imprisoned his two
young nephews,
the princes who
were the rightful
heirs to the crown.
They disappeared;
he became King
Richard the Third.
Tower Bridge
One of the
London sites
is Tower
Bridge. This
is a bridge
across the
Thames built
because of
the need for
an open
waterway for
large ships.
Tower Bridge
Walk on down to the River
Thames and you will see Tower
Bridge. The high-level walkway
was intended to be a pedestrian
crossing when the bridge was
raised for boats to go through,
but the idea wasn't really
popular.
(Probably too many steps!)
You can get some amazing
views of London from up there.
St. Paul's Cathedral
St. Paul's Cathedral is Sir
Christopher Wren's creation.
It contains a lot of paintings,
sculptures and other works of
art.
London Eye
The London Eye really has to
be included in a trip to
London. The 32 capsules carry
around 10,000 visitors every
day. Because of the way the
capsules are suspended it
allows for a full 360 degreepanorama when you're at the
top of the wheel. Tickets can
be booked online, which really
is the right thing to do as it
saves a lot of time. The
queues look long when you
arrive but they move quickly
as everyone is issued with a
timed ticket.
Don't forget your camera!

Tower nowadays. They
include a big collection
of armour, jewels and

the Thames" - was
started by William the

Thames and you will see Tower
Bridge. The high-level walkway
was intended to be a pedestrian
crossing when the bridge was
raised for boats to go through,
but the idea wasn't really
popular.
(Probably too many steps!)
You can get some amazing
views of London from up there.
St. Paul's Cathedral
St. Paul's Cathedral is Sir
Christopher Wren's creation.
It contains a lot of paintings,
sculptures and other works of

London Eye
The London Eye really has to
be included in a trip to
London. The 32 capsules carry
around 10,000 visitors every
day. Because of the way the
capsules are suspended it
allows for a full 360 degreepanorama when you're at the
top of the wheel. Tickets can
be booked online, which really
is the right thing to do as it
saves a lot of time. The
queues look long when you
arrive but they move quickly
as everyone is issued with a
timed ticket.
Don't forget your camera!

The London Eye really has to
be included in a trip to
London. The 32 capsules carry
around 10,000 visitors every

capsules are suspended it
allows for a full 360 degreepanorama when you're at the
top of the wheel. Tickets can
be booked online, which really
is the right thing to do as it
saves a lot of time. The
queues look long when you
arrive but they move quickly
as everyone is issued with a
timed ticket.
Don't forget your camera!

displays are in the White
Tower nowadays. They
include a big collection
of armour, jewels and
clothes.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London "The Royal Fortress on
the Thames" - was
started by William the
Conqueror almost
1000 years ago, when
he built the White
Tower on the site of a
Roman fort. Other

towers, and walls
around the central
keep; the term "Tower
of London" refers to
the whole complex.

displays are in the White
Tower nowadays. They
include a big collection
of armour, jewels and
clothes.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London "The Royal Fortress on
the Thames" - was
started by William the
Conqueror almost
1000 years ago, when
he built the White
Tower on the site of a
Roman fort. Other
kings added smaller
towers, and walls
around the central
keep; the term "Tower
of London" refers to
the whole complex.

You can get some amazing
views of London from up there.
St. Paul's Cathedral
St. Paul's Cathedral is Sir

around 10,000 visitors every
day. Because of the way the
capsules are suspended it
allows for a full 360 degreepanorama when you're at the
top of the wheel. Tickets can
be booked online, which really
is the right thing to do as it
saves a lot of time. The

the princes who
were the rightful

Tower Bridge
One of the

is Tower
Bridge. This
is a bridge
across the

because of

Tower Bridge
Walk on down to the River
Thames and you will see Tower
Bridge. The high-level walkway
was intended to be a pedestrian
crossing when the bridge was
raised for boats to go through,
but the idea wasn't really
popular.
(Probably too many steps!)
You can get some amazing
views of London from up there.
St. Paul's Cathedral
St. Paul's Cathedral is Sir
Christopher Wren's creation.
It contains a lot of paintings,
sculptures and other works of

London Eye
The London Eye really has to
be included in a trip to
London. The 32 capsules carry
around 10,000 visitors every
day. Because of the way the
capsules are suspended it
allows for a full 360 degreepanorama when you're at the
top of the wheel. Tickets can
be booked online, which really
is the right thing to do as it
saves a lot of time. The
queues look long when you
arrive but they move quickly
as everyone is issued with a

displays are in the White
Tower nowadays. They
include a big collection
of armour, jewels and
clothes.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London "The Royal Fortress on
the Thames" - was
started by William the
Conqueror almost
1000 years ago, when
he built the White
Tower on the site of a
Roman fort. Other
kings added smaller
towers, and walls
around the central
keep; the term "Tower
of London" refers to
the whole complex.

You can get some amazing
views of London from up there.
St. Paul's Cathedral
St. Paul's Cathedral is Sir

around 10,000 visitors every
day. Because of the way the
capsules are suspended it
allows for a full 360 degreepanorama when you're at the
top of the wheel. Tickets can
be booked online, which really
is the right thing to do as it
saves a lot of time. The

the Tower of
London. There is a
legend that
England will be
prosperous till the
ravens live behind
the Tower walls. If
one of the ravens
dies, it is replaced
by another.
Tower of London –
Yeoman Warders
The Raven master one of the Yeoman
Warders - tends the
birds; they even
have their own
pens. Visitors will
probably see ravens
on the Tower Green.
Tower of London-weapons
knight in armor
Keeping in
mind that the
official name of
the Tower of
London is "Her
Majesty's Royal
Palace and
Fortress the
Tower of
London", it's no
surprise that
England's
national
collection of
arms and
armour is here.
Tower of London –
Bloody Tower
It is the infamous
Bloody Tower,
where - it's
believed-- in 1483
the Duke of
Gloucester
imprisoned his two
young nephews,
the princes who
were the rightful
heirs to the crown.
They disappeared;
he became King
Richard the Third.
Tower Bridge
One of the
London sites
is Tower
Bridge. This
is a bridge
across the
Thames built
because of
the need for
an open
waterway for
large ships.
Tower Bridge
Walk on down to the River
Thames and you will see Tower
Bridge. The high-level walkway
was intended to be a pedestrian
crossing when the bridge was
raised for boats to go through,
but the idea wasn't really
popular.
(Probably too many steps!)
You can get some amazing
views of London from up there.
St. Paul's Cathedral
St. Paul's Cathedral is Sir
Christopher Wren's creation.
It contains a lot of paintings,
sculptures and other works of
art.
London Eye
The London Eye really has to
be included in a trip to
London. The 32 capsules carry
around 10,000 visitors every
day. Because of the way the
capsules are suspended it
allows for a full 360 degreepanorama when you're at the
top of the wheel. Tickets can
be booked online, which really
is the right thing to do as it
saves a lot of time. The
queues look long when you
arrive but they move quickly
as everyone is issued with a
timed ticket.
Don't forget your camera!

Europe and consists of two large islands:
Great Britain and the Isle of Ireland, and
about five thousand small islands.
There are four regions in the UК:

to the statue of Eros in
the centre of the Circus.
Trafalgar Square

The monument,
which is called
Nelson’s Column,
was built to
commemorate the

marvelous Christmas
tree, to thank Britain
for liberation from
the Nazis.
Admiral Nelson's Column
Nelson's Column
arrived in Trafalgar
Square in 1843, and
commemorates the
one-armed, oneeyed admiral who
died defeating
Napoleon at the
Battle of Trafalgar
in 1805. The column
is 169 feet 5 3/4
inches (51.659
meters) high, and
the statue is
actually more than
triple life-size.
Lion Statues
in Trafalgar Square
The four bronze
lions at the base
of the column, by
Edwin Landseer,
didn't arrive until
1868. It's a bit of
a scramble to get
up there, but
many people
have a friend
take their photo
sitting on top of a
lion!
Westminster Abbey
Westminster Abbey is
one of the most
popular cathedrals.
A lot of famous people
are buried inside
Queen Elizabeth I,
Isaac Newton, Charles
Darwin, William
Shakespeare, Charles
Dickens and many
others.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London
is the oldest building in
the city built in
the 11-th century. It used
to be a prison,
a fortress, a palace,
a treasury and even
a zoo. The oldest part of
the Tower is the White
tower. Most of the public
displays are in the White
Tower nowadays. They
include a big collection
of armour, jewels and
clothes.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London "The Royal Fortress on
the Thames" - was
started by William the
Conqueror almost
1000 years ago, when
he built the White
Tower on the site of a
Roman fort. Other
kings added smaller
towers, and walls
around the central
keep; the term "Tower
of London" refers to
the whole complex.
The Tower of London
Black ravens live in
the Tower of
London. There is a
legend that
England will be
prosperous till the
ravens live behind
the Tower walls. If
one of the ravens
dies, it is replaced
by another.
Tower of London –
Yeoman Warders
The Raven master one of the Yeoman
Warders - tends the
birds; they even
have their own
pens. Visitors will
probably see ravens
on the Tower Green.
Tower of London-weapons
knight in armor
Keeping in
mind that the
official name of
the Tower of
London is "Her
Majesty's Royal
Palace and
Fortress the
Tower of
London", it's no
surprise that
England's
national
collection of
arms and
armour is here.
Tower of London –
Bloody Tower
It is the infamous
Bloody Tower,
where - it's
believed-- in 1483
the Duke of
Gloucester
imprisoned his two
young nephews,
the princes who
were the rightful
heirs to the crown.
They disappeared;
he became King
Richard the Third.
Tower Bridge
One of the
London sites
is Tower
Bridge. This
is a bridge
across the
Thames built
because of
the need for
an open
waterway for
large ships.
Tower Bridge
Walk on down to the River
Thames and you will see Tower
Bridge. The high-level walkway
was intended to be a pedestrian
crossing when the bridge was
raised for boats to go through,
but the idea wasn't really
popular.
(Probably too many steps!)
You can get some amazing
views of London from up there.
St. Paul's Cathedral
St. Paul's Cathedral is Sir
Christopher Wren's creation.
It contains a lot of paintings,
sculptures and other works of
art.
London Eye
The London Eye really has to
be included in a trip to
London. The 32 capsules carry
around 10,000 visitors every
day. Because of the way the
capsules are suspended it
allows for a full 360 degreepanorama when you're at the
top of the wheel. Tickets can
be booked online, which really
is the right thing to do as it
saves a lot of time. The
queues look long when you
arrive but they move quickly
as everyone is issued with a
timed ticket.
Don't forget your camera!

The Tower of London
The Tower of London
is the oldest building in
the city built in
the 11-th century. It used
to be a prison,
a fortress, a palace,
a treasury and even
a zoo. The oldest part of
the Tower is the White
tower. Most of the public
displays are in the White
Tower nowadays. They
include a big collection
of armour, jewels and
clothes.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London "The Royal Fortress on
the Thames" - was
started by William the
Conqueror almost
1000 years ago, when
he built the White
Tower on the site of a
Roman fort. Other
kings added smaller
towers, and walls
around the central
keep; the term "Tower
of London" refers to
the whole complex.
The Tower of London
Black ravens live in
the Tower of
London. There is a
legend that
England will be
prosperous till the
ravens live behind
the Tower walls. If
one of the ravens
dies, it is replaced
by another.
Tower of London –
Yeoman Warders
The Raven master one of the Yeoman
Warders - tends the
birds; they even
have their own
pens. Visitors will
probably see ravens
on the Tower Green.
Tower of London-weapons
knight in armor
Keeping in
mind that the
official name of
the Tower of
London is "Her
Majesty's Royal
Palace and
Fortress the
Tower of
London", it's no
surprise that
England's
national
collection of
arms and
armour is here.
Tower of London –
Bloody Tower
It is the infamous
Bloody Tower,
where - it's
believed-- in 1483
the Duke of
Gloucester
imprisoned his two
young nephews,
the princes who
were the rightful
heirs to the crown.
They disappeared;
he became King
Richard the Third.
Tower Bridge
One of the
London sites
is Tower
Bridge. This
is a bridge
across the
Thames built
because of
the need for
an open
waterway for
large ships.
Tower Bridge
Walk on down to the River
Thames and you will see Tower
Bridge. The high-level walkway
was intended to be a pedestrian
crossing when the bridge was
raised for boats to go through,
but the idea wasn't really
popular.
(Probably too many steps!)
You can get some amazing
views of London from up there.
St. Paul's Cathedral
St. Paul's Cathedral is Sir
Christopher Wren's creation.
It contains a lot of paintings,
sculptures and other works of
art.
London Eye
The London Eye really has to
be included in a trip to
London. The 32 capsules carry
around 10,000 visitors every
day. Because of the way the
capsules are suspended it
allows for a full 360 degreepanorama when you're at the
top of the wheel. Tickets can
be booked online, which really
is the right thing to do as it
saves a lot of time. The
queues look long when you
arrive but they move quickly
as everyone is issued with a
timed ticket.
Don't forget your camera!

Europe and consists of two large islands:
Great Britain and the Isle of Ireland, and
about five thousand small islands.
There are four regions in the UК:

The Union flag - Union Jack
The flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Northern Ireland is a combination of more flags.

came from King James, whose name is "Jacobus" in
Latin, and "Jacob" in Hebrew.

to the statue of Eros in
the centre of the Circus.
Trafalgar Square

Norway donates a
marvelous Christmas
tree, to thank Britain
for liberation from
the Nazis.
Admiral Nelson's Column
Nelson's Column
arrived in Trafalgar
Square in 1843, and
commemorates the
one-armed, oneeyed admiral who
died defeating
Napoleon at the
Battle of Trafalgar
in 1805. The column
is 169 feet 5 3/4
inches (51.659
meters) high, and
the statue is
actually more than
triple life-size.
Lion Statues
in Trafalgar Square
The four bronze
lions at the base
of the column, by
Edwin Landseer,
didn't arrive until
1868. It's a bit of
a scramble to get
up there, but
many people
have a friend
take their photo
sitting on top of a
lion!
Westminster Abbey
Westminster Abbey is
one of the most
popular cathedrals.
A lot of famous people
are buried inside
Queen Elizabeth I,
Isaac Newton, Charles
Darwin, William
Shakespeare, Charles
Dickens and many
others.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London
is the oldest building in
the city built in
the 11-th century. It used
to be a prison,
a fortress, a palace,
a treasury and even
a zoo. The oldest part of
the Tower is the White
tower. Most of the public
displays are in the White
Tower nowadays. They
include a big collection
of armour, jewels and
clothes.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London "The Royal Fortress on
the Thames" - was
started by William the
Conqueror almost
1000 years ago, when
he built the White
Tower on the site of a
Roman fort. Other
kings added smaller
towers, and walls
around the central
keep; the term "Tower
of London" refers to
the whole complex.
The Tower of London
Black ravens live in
the Tower of
London. There is a
legend that
England will be
prosperous till the
ravens live behind
the Tower walls. If
one of the ravens
dies, it is replaced
by another.
Tower of London –
Yeoman Warders
The Raven master one of the Yeoman
Warders - tends the
birds; they even
have their own
pens. Visitors will
probably see ravens
on the Tower Green.
Tower of London-weapons
knight in armor
Keeping in
mind that the
official name of
the Tower of
London is "Her
Majesty's Royal
Palace and
Fortress the
Tower of
London", it's no
surprise that
England's
national
collection of
arms and
armour is here.
Tower of London –
Bloody Tower
It is the infamous
Bloody Tower,
where - it's
believed-- in 1483
the Duke of
Gloucester
imprisoned his two
young nephews,
the princes who
were the rightful
heirs to the crown.
They disappeared;
he became King
Richard the Third.
Tower Bridge
One of the
London sites
is Tower
Bridge. This
is a bridge
across the
Thames built
because of
the need for
an open
waterway for
large ships.
Tower Bridge
Walk on down to the River
Thames and you will see Tower
Bridge. The high-level walkway
was intended to be a pedestrian
crossing when the bridge was
raised for boats to go through,
but the idea wasn't really
popular.
(Probably too many steps!)
You can get some amazing
views of London from up there.
St. Paul's Cathedral
St. Paul's Cathedral is Sir
Christopher Wren's creation.
It contains a lot of paintings,
sculptures and other works of
art.
London Eye
The London Eye really has to
be included in a trip to
London. The 32 capsules carry
around 10,000 visitors every
day. Because of the way the
capsules are suspended it
allows for a full 360 degreepanorama when you're at the
top of the wheel. Tickets can
be booked online, which really
is the right thing to do as it
saves a lot of time. The
queues look long when you
arrive but they move quickly
as everyone is issued with a
timed ticket.
Don't forget your camera!

one-armed, oneeyed admiral who
died defeating
Napoleon at the
Battle of Trafalgar
in 1805. The column
is 169 feet 5 3/4
inches (51.659
meters) high, and
the statue is
actually more than
triple life-size.
Lion Statues
in Trafalgar Square
The four bronze
lions at the base
of the column, by
Edwin Landseer,
didn't arrive until
1868. It's a bit of
a scramble to get
up there, but
many people
have a friend
take their photo
sitting on top of a
lion!
Westminster Abbey
Westminster Abbey is
one of the most
popular cathedrals.
A lot of famous people
are buried inside
Queen Elizabeth I,
Isaac Newton, Charles
Darwin, William
Shakespeare, Charles
Dickens and many
others.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London
is the oldest building in
the city built in
the 11-th century. It used
to be a prison,
a fortress, a palace,
a treasury and even
a zoo. The oldest part of
the Tower is the White
tower. Most of the public
displays are in the White
Tower nowadays. They
include a big collection
of armour, jewels and
clothes.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London "The Royal Fortress on
the Thames" - was
started by William the
Conqueror almost
1000 years ago, when
he built the White
Tower on the site of a
Roman fort. Other
kings added smaller
towers, and walls
around the central
keep; the term "Tower
of London" refers to
the whole complex.
The Tower of London
Black ravens live in
the Tower of
London. There is a
legend that
England will be
prosperous till the
ravens live behind
the Tower walls. If
one of the ravens
dies, it is replaced
by another.
Tower of London –
Yeoman Warders
The Raven master one of the Yeoman
Warders - tends the
birds; they even
have their own
pens. Visitors will
probably see ravens
on the Tower Green.
Tower of London-weapons

Keeping in
mind that the
official name of
the Tower of
London is "Her
Majesty's Royal
Palace and
Fortress the
Tower of
London", it's no
surprise that
England's
national
collection of
arms and
armour is here.
Tower of London –
Bloody Tower
It is the infamous
Bloody Tower,
where - it's
believed-- in 1483
the Duke of
Gloucester
imprisoned his two
young nephews,
the princes who
were the rightful
heirs to the crown.
They disappeared;
he became King
Richard the Third.
Tower Bridge
One of the
London sites
is Tower
Bridge. This
is a bridge
across the
Thames built
because of
the need for
an open
waterway for
large ships.
Tower Bridge
Walk on down to the River
Thames and you will see Tower
Bridge. The high-level walkway
was intended to be a pedestrian
crossing when the bridge was
raised for boats to go through,
but the idea wasn't really
popular.
(Probably too many steps!)
You can get some amazing
views of London from up there.
St. Paul's Cathedral
St. Paul's Cathedral is Sir
Christopher Wren's creation.
It contains a lot of paintings,
sculptures and other works of
art.
London Eye
The London Eye really has to
be included in a trip to
London. The 32 capsules carry
around 10,000 visitors every
day. Because of the way the
capsules are suspended it
allows for a full 360 degreepanorama when you're at the
top of the wheel. Tickets can
be booked online, which really
is the right thing to do as it
saves a lot of time. The
queues look long when you
arrive but they move quickly
as everyone is issued with a
timed ticket.
Don't forget your camera!

The map of Great Britain
and Northern Ireland
The official name of the country is
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Northern Ireland.
The country is situated in the north-west of
Europe and consists of two large islands:
Great Britain and the Isle of Ireland, and
about five thousand small islands.
There are four regions in the UК:

the English Channel in the south. The English
Channel separates Great Britain from France.
The Union flag - Union Jack
The flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Northern Ireland is a combination of more flags.
It is known as "Union Jack" although it is often stated
that the Union Flag should only be described as the

There is also the theory that the name "Union Jack"
came from King James, whose name is "Jacobus" in
Latin, and "Jacob" in Hebrew.

is the heart of London.
On special occasions
many people come
to the statue of Eros in
the centre of the Circus.
Trafalgar Square
Trafalgar Square
is famous for the tall
monument in the
centre of it.
The monument,
which is called
Nelson’s Column,
was built to
commemorate the
Battle of Trafalgar
and to honour
Admiral Nelson.
Trafalgar Square
Trafalgar Square
was designed by
John Nash in the
1820s and
constructed in the
1830s. It is both a
tourist attraction and
the main focus for
political
demonstrations.
Every December,
Norway donates a
marvelous Christmas
tree, to thank Britain
for liberation from
the Nazis.
Admiral Nelson's Column
Nelson's Column
arrived in Trafalgar
Square in 1843, and
commemorates the
one-armed, oneeyed admiral who
died defeating
Napoleon at the
Battle of Trafalgar
in 1805. The column
is 169 feet 5 3/4
inches (51.659
meters) high, and
the statue is
actually more than
triple life-size.
Lion Statues
in Trafalgar Square
The four bronze
lions at the base
of the column, by
Edwin Landseer,
didn't arrive until
1868. It's a bit of
a scramble to get

many people
have a friend
take their photo
sitting on top of a
lion!
Westminster Abbey
Westminster Abbey is
one of the most
popular cathedrals.
A lot of famous people
are buried inside
Queen Elizabeth I,
Isaac Newton, Charles
Darwin, William
Shakespeare, Charles
Dickens and many
others.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London
is the oldest building in
the city built in
the 11-th century. It used
to be a prison,
a fortress, a palace,
a treasury and even
a zoo. The oldest part of
the Tower is the White
tower. Most of the public
displays are in the White
Tower nowadays. They
include a big collection
of armour, jewels and
clothes.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London "The Royal Fortress on
the Thames" - was
started by William the
Conqueror almost
1000 years ago, when
he built the White
Tower on the site of a
Roman fort. Other
kings added smaller
towers, and walls
around the central
keep; the term "Tower
of London" refers to
the whole complex.
The Tower of London
Black ravens live in
the Tower of
London. There is a
legend that
England will be
prosperous till the
ravens live behind
the Tower walls. If
one of the ravens
dies, it is replaced
by another.
Tower of London –
Yeoman Warders
The Raven master one of the Yeoman
Warders - tends the
birds; they even
have their own
pens. Visitors will
probably see ravens
on the Tower Green.
Tower of London-weapons
knight in armor
Keeping in
mind that the
official name of
the Tower of
London is "Her
Majesty's Royal
Palace and
Fortress the
Tower of
London", it's no
surprise that
England's
national
collection of
arms and
armour is here.
Tower of London –
Bloody Tower
It is the infamous
Bloody Tower,
where - it's
believed-- in 1483
the Duke of
Gloucester
imprisoned his two
young nephews,
the princes who
were the rightful
heirs to the crown.
They disappeared;
he became King
Richard the Third.
Tower Bridge
One of the
London sites
is Tower
Bridge. This
is a bridge
across the
Thames built
because of
the need for
an open
waterway for
large ships.
Tower Bridge
Walk on down to the River
Thames and you will see Tower
Bridge. The high-level walkway
was intended to be a pedestrian
crossing when the bridge was
raised for boats to go through,
but the idea wasn't really
popular.
(Probably too many steps!)
You can get some amazing
views of London from up there.
St. Paul's Cathedral
St. Paul's Cathedral is Sir
Christopher Wren's creation.
It contains a lot of paintings,
sculptures and other works of
art.
London Eye
The London Eye really has to
be included in a trip to
London. The 32 capsules carry
around 10,000 visitors every
day. Because of the way the
capsules are suspended it
allows for a full 360 degreepanorama when you're at the
top of the wheel. Tickets can
be booked online, which really
is the right thing to do as it
saves a lot of time. The
queues look long when you
arrive but they move quickly
as everyone is issued with a
timed ticket.
Don't forget your camera!

lions at the base
of the column, by

to be a prison,
a fortress, a palace,
a treasury and even

tower. Most of the public
displays are in the White
Tower nowadays. They
include a big collection
of armour, jewels and
clothes.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London "The Royal Fortress on
the Thames" - was
started by William the
Conqueror almost
1000 years ago, when
he built the White
Tower on the site of a
Roman fort. Other
kings added smaller
towers, and walls
around the central
keep; the term "Tower
of London" refers to
the whole complex.

Thames and you will see Tower
Bridge. The high-level walkway
was intended to be a pedestrian
crossing when the bridge was
raised for boats to go through,
but the idea wasn't really
popular.
(Probably too many steps!)
You can get some amazing
views of London from up there.
St. Paul's Cathedral
St. Paul's Cathedral is Sir
Christopher Wren's creation.
It contains a lot of paintings,
sculptures and other works of
art.
London Eye
The London Eye really has to
be included in a trip to
London. The 32 capsules carry
around 10,000 visitors every
day. Because of the way the
capsules are suspended it
allows for a full 360 degreepanorama when you're at the
top of the wheel. Tickets can
be booked online, which really
is the right thing to do as it
saves a lot of time. The
queues look long when you
arrive but they move quickly

The map of Great Britain
and Northern Ireland
The official name of the country is
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Northern Ireland.
The country is situated in the north-west of
Europe and consists of two large islands:
Great Britain and the Isle of Ireland, and
about five thousand small islands.
There are four regions in the UК:
England, Wales, Scotland and Northern
Ireland.
The country is washed by the North Sea in the
north, the Irish Sea in the west and
the English Channel in the south. The English
Channel separates Great Britain from France.
The Union flag - Union Jack
The flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Northern Ireland is a combination of more flags.
It is known as "Union Jack" although it is often stated
that the Union Flag should only be described as the
"Union Jack" when flown in the bows of a warship.
There is also the theory that the name "Union Jack"
came from King James, whose name is "Jacobus" in
Latin, and "Jacob" in Hebrew.

Every December,
Norway donates a
marvelous Christmas
tree, to thank Britain
for liberation from
the Nazis.
Admiral Nelson's Column
Nelson's Column
arrived in Trafalgar
Square in 1843, and
commemorates the
one-armed, oneeyed admiral who
died defeating
Napoleon at the
Battle of Trafalgar
in 1805. The column
is 169 feet 5 3/4
inches (51.659
meters) high, and
the statue is
actually more than
triple life-size.
Lion Statues
in Trafalgar Square
The four bronze
lions at the base
of the column, by
Edwin Landseer,

have a friend
take their photo
sitting on top of a
lion!
Westminster Abbey
Westminster Abbey is
one of the most
popular cathedrals.
A lot of famous people
are buried inside
Queen Elizabeth I,
Isaac Newton, Charles

others.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London
is the oldest building in
the city built in
the 11-th century. It used
to be a prison,
a fortress, a palace,
a treasury and even
a zoo. The oldest part of
the Tower is the White
tower. Most of the public
displays are in the White
Tower nowadays. They
include a big collection
of armour, jewels and
clothes.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London "The Royal Fortress on
the Thames" - was
started by William the
Conqueror almost
1000 years ago, when
he built the White
Tower on the site of a
Roman fort. Other
kings added smaller
towers, and walls
around the central
keep; the term "Tower
of London" refers to
the whole complex.
The Tower of London
Black ravens live in
the Tower of
London. There is a
legend that
England will be
prosperous till the
ravens live behind
the Tower walls. If
one of the ravens
dies, it is replaced
by another.
Tower of London –
Yeoman Warders
The Raven master one of the Yeoman
Warders - tends the
birds; they even
have their own
pens. Visitors will
probably see ravens
on the Tower Green.
Tower of London-weapons
knight in armor
Keeping in
mind that the
official name of
the Tower of
London is "Her
Majesty's Royal
Palace and
Fortress the
Tower of
London", it's no
surprise that
England's
national
collection of
arms and
armour is here.
Tower of London –
Bloody Tower
It is the infamous
Bloody Tower,
where - it's
believed-- in 1483
the Duke of

imprisoned his two
young nephews,
the princes who

heirs to the crown.
They disappeared;
he became King
Richard the Third.
Tower Bridge
One of the
London sites
is Tower
Bridge. This
is a bridge
across the
Thames built
because of
the need for
an open
waterway for
large ships.
Tower Bridge
Walk on down to the River
Thames and you will see Tower
Bridge. The high-level walkway
was intended to be a pedestrian
crossing when the bridge was
raised for boats to go through,
but the idea wasn't really
popular.
(Probably too many steps!)
You can get some amazing
views of London from up there.
St. Paul's Cathedral
St. Paul's Cathedral is Sir
Christopher Wren's creation.
It contains a lot of paintings,
sculptures and other works of
art.
London Eye
The London Eye really has to
be included in a trip to
London. The 32 capsules carry
around 10,000 visitors every
day. Because of the way the
capsules are suspended it
allows for a full 360 degreepanorama when you're at the
top of the wheel. Tickets can
be booked online, which really
is the right thing to do as it
saves a lot of time. The
queues look long when you
arrive but they move quickly
as everyone is issued with a
timed ticket.
Don't forget your camera!
