Teacher: Luciana Viter (2014)

First, you have to face a long line at theImmigration Service,

at least if you are not a British or an American citizen.

There are a lot of classical red double buses.

And non-classical double buses too...

Bycicles ...

Taxis and the underground

Classical and non-classical public telephoneboxes.

Classical (St. Pancras) and modern(King’s Cross) train stations.

There are flowers everywhere...

Trafalgar Square, National Gallery at thebackground

and the Nelson Column at the middle.

And there is this curious statue at the TrafalgarSquare too...

At the National Gallery you can see famousmasterpieces as these, by Van Gogh and

Degas...

But in London you can enjoy modern art as well...

The Westminster Abbey, which is almost1.000 years old, is the most important

church in London.

At the London Tower, you can see theCrown Jewels.

There are famous monuments as the ClockTower

at the Parliament (Big Ben is the bell insidethis tower)

The famous Tower Bridge crosses the River Thames

We will remember... History is very important for Londoners.

And they learn it from early childhood.

There are modernconstructions as “The Shard”, thetallest building in

People from all over the world visit London. And live there.
