What is London
London is the capital of Great Britain, its political, economic and cultural centre. It is one of the largest cities in the world. Its population is more than 11 000 000 people. London is situated on the river Thames. The city is very old and beautiful. It was founded more than two thousand years ago.

The Westminster is the aristocratic official part of London. It includes Buckingham Palace, where the Queen lives, and the Houses of Parliament.

In London there are a lot of sights. Now I will tell you about some of them.

Every visitor to London knows who is Madame Tussaud's. And almost every visitor has seen her, an old lady of 81, standing at the entrance of her own exhibition.
