London, the capital of Great Britain, is a very old town. It is two thousand years old. Many years ago London was a small town on the Thames. There were a lot of villages round it and after many years London and three hundred villages grew into a very large city. Some of the names of those villages you can find in the names of the streets in modern London — Kensington, Westminster and others.

There were many wars in those days and people from other countries came to Great Britain and destroyed London, but new houses of stone grew up.

London stands not far from the sea. Many ships from other countries came to the port of London and brought cotton, food and other things. Factories grew in London and other cities. Many shops were opened in the centre of London. In 1863 the first underground railway began to work. It was very short in those days.

Now London is a beautiful city with large squares and parks. London is one of the biggest cities in the world.

If you do not know what to see in London, Buckingham Palace will definitely not forget. It is the official residence of the Queen of Great Britain in London. The most interesting event, which invariably attracts crowds of tourists who take their seats at the gate in advance, is the change of guard. This is a regular solemn ceremony, which takes place according to a strict schedule, turns into a spectacular spectacle, a demonstration of impeccable training and self-control of the guards. Luxurious and lush room was decorated in 1853.
