Guide 1: In London, one can see architecture of different centuries and
styles. It is inseparably connected with the history of the city. Traditionally
London is divided into several parts: the City, Westminster, the West End
and the East End. The city first started in the place, which is known as the
City. It is the oldest part and the Heart of London, it’s commercial and
6
business centre. It occupies a territory of a square mile. During a day, it is
full of people, nearly a million people work there.
2) Students’ information about the Tower of London, Tower Bridge and
St. Paul’s Cathedral
TOWER OF LONDON AND TOWER BRIDGE
The Tower of London long continued to be both a fortress and a palace. It
was also a prison. At first prisoners were often foreign princes and nobles, who had
been captured in war. But later on, in Tudor times, the Tower became the place
where famous and the infamous people were sent.
Nowadays the Tower is still a prison. Usually, a prison is a place where
criminals are locked up. But in this prison the jewels are locked up. The jewels are
the famous "crown jewels" of England. Crown jewels are treasures that belong to
king or queen. According to tradition the Tower is guarded by the Yeoman
Warders, or Beefeaters. They still wear their 16th century bright and colourful
Tudor uniforms.
And now we can talk about a Tower Bridge of London, London’s best
known and most distinctive bridge has straddled the Thames for a century. The
twin draw-bridges, each weighing about 1,000 tons, have been raised more than
half a million times since the bridge was built. The Tower bridge is one of the most
beautiful bridges across the Thames. Built in 1894, it is still in daily use. Even
today Tower Bridge regulates a large part of the impressive traffic of the Port of
London.
ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL
Everybody coming to London for the first time wants to see St. Paul's
Cathedral. This is the third cathedral with this name which London has had. The
two others were burnt down, the first in 1086 and the second in 1666.
Christopher Wren was an architect who had already built many buildings.
Now, in 1675, he started on his greatest work. For 35 years the building of St.
Paul's Cathedral went on, and Wren was an old man before it was finished.
From far away you can see the huge dome with a golden ball and cross on the top.
The inside of the cathedral is very beautiful. After looking around, you can climb
263 steps to the Whispering Gallery, above the library, which runs round the dome.
It is called this because if someone whispers close to the wall on one side, a person
with an ear close to the wall on the other side can hear what is said. Then, if you
climb another 118 steps, you will be able to stand outside the dome and look over
London.
