I'm Bill and I live in London, and I can't imagine living anywhere else. With my parents and my brother, I often cycle or walk through the city which is endless. My favourite view of the city is from Waterloo Bridge. From there you can see London Eye and Houses of Parliament. The view is particularly nice when the weather is sunny.

It’s the only time I find shopping on Oxford Street enjoyable, largely because of the amazing lights everywhere, and the shops packed with people. I really enjoy myself when I go there. When you come to my city, we will get you a photo with Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt statue who are seated on a bench together in conversation. This statue is on Old Bond Street.
