London has more than nine million visitors every year.They come and visit some of the most famous places in England: Big Ben, the Tower of London and the River Thames.
You can see some of the most interesting places in the city by getting on one of London's tour buses or you can take a ride on the London Eye.This large wheel slowly takes you 135m above the River Thames.From the top you have wonderful views of the whole city.
The River Thames is London's main waterway.It has shaped the capital's landscape, history and geography.So one of the best ways of making sense of the city is to take a trip along the river.
The clock tower of the Houses of Parliament (议会大厦), Big Ben, has become one of the main symbols of London.The sound of the bell, which you can hear at the beginning of many television and radio programmes, has become well-known throughout the nation.
No visit to London is complete without a look at the Tower of London, in the eastern part of the city.After Big Ben, the Tower may be London's most visited tourist spot.It is Europe's oldest palace and prison.
Directly south is Tower Bridge, which is more than 100 years old.
Among all the palaces in London, Buckingham Palace is the most famous.It has been the main London home of the royal family since Queen Victoria moved there in 1837.You can visit some of the rooms in August and September.Most mornings of the year you can watch the soldiers outside hanging the guard.
About one hour by train out of London is the town of Windsor.Here you can visit another of the Queen's homes — Windsor Castle, Europe's biggest castle.
Sight-seeing in London is great, but it can get very tiring.So, the best way to start the day is to fill up on an English breakfast.
For starters, have an egg, bacon, sausages (香肠), tomatoes, mushrooms, black pudding and fried bread.Then finish off with toast and jam, and a large pot of tea.You can buy an English breakfast in nearly every hotel, and at many restaurants and cafes.
Or you can sit outside one of the many roadside pubs and cafes in London, and simply watch the busy world go by.
