Tower of London
In 1078, William the Conqueror built the first
part of the Tower, the White Tower, as a
fortress. Over the centuries, other kings and queens extended the
Tower and used it as a palace or prison. Prisoners usually arrived by boat and entered the Tower through Traitor's Gate, which faces the river. Worth seeing in the Tower are old armours and weapons, the crown jewels and the famous ravens. People say that as long as there are six ravens at the Tower, England is safe from invasion.

Tower Bridge
Tower Bridge is the most famous bridge in London.
It opened in 1894. The bridge only needs 90
seconds to lift. This happens about 500 times a year.
HMS Belfast Her Majesty’s Ship – HMS Belfast played an important role during World War II. The ship weighs 11,500 tons and is a museum now.

London Dungeon
The London Dungeon is in an old subterranean prison
(that’s what the word Dungeon stands for). The wax
museum takes its visitors on a scary journey through England’s
history of brutal killings and tortures. When you are in the Dungeon, watch out for creepy creatures - the Dungeon employs actors who are dressed as monsters, ghosts or executers. They hide in dark corners and then suddenly jump out to give you the fright of your life.
Слайд 10
Globe Theatre
The Globe Theatre opened in 1997. It is a
replica of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, which burned down in
1613 during a performance of Shakespeare's play Henry VIII. In
the Globe Theatre, you can experience what the theatre was like at Shakespeare’s time. The theatre had no roof, there were no electric lights and hardly any decoration.
Слайд 11
Houses of Parliament
The official name of the Houses of Parliament
is Palace of Westminster. This is because it was
the royal palace before the king moved to Whitehall Palace
in 1529. Now the palace is home to the United Kingdom Parliament. On 5 November 1605, some radical Catholics wanted to blow up the Houses of Parliament. But they were not successful. Guards searched the cellars of the Palace and found 36 barrels of gunpowder. Every year on 5 November people commemorate Guy Fawkes Day (or Gunpowder Day) with fireworks and bonfires. In 1834, a fire destroyed most of the palace. Between 1840 and 1888, Sir Charles Barry rebuilt the Palace of Westminster and also added the famous clocktower that everybody knows as Big Ben. Actually, it is only the name of the biggest bell in the clock tower, which rings the hour. Big Ben takes its name from Sir Benjamin Hall, who ordered the casting of the 16 ton bell in 1856.
