Переведите текст London, the capital of Great Britain, is a big city. It covers more than 600 square miles and consists of 33 separate boroughs, including the City, the West End, the East End and houses over 12 million people. They say, big cities are not always different. Modern buildings, modern shops and stores, hotels and cinemas look alike in today's cities. But some things you can only see in London. What are they? In London you find Beefeaters and Pearly Kings and Queens. You find Covent Garden and Madam Tussaud's. Britain has more living symbols of its past than many other countries, and its capital boasts many ancient buildings like the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, or St. Paul's Cathedral. London is a royal city. The British King or Queen has a palace there - Buckingham Palace. Queen Elizabeth lives there now. Tourist can see the everyday ceremony called "the Changing of the Guard". Every day a new guard of thirty guardsmen marches to the palace and take the place of the "old guard". The Tower of London, built in 1078 by William the Conqueror to protect the city, is an interesting place with its Beefeaters and the| Crown Jewels. The Imperial State Crown is one of the Crown Jewels in the Jewel House in the Tower of London. It has 3000 stones in it: diamonds, red rubies, blue sapphires, and beautiful pearls. The Queen wears it on state occasions. Then it goes back to the Tower. The Beefeaters guard Tower and the Crown Jewels, and they help visitors. London is a city, but to Londoners 'the City' is a place in London. The banks and big companies have their head offices there. City offices are in tall modern buildings, or in old buildings on narrow streets. The office people do not live in the City, they come to the City every day, from Monday to Friday. Five important streets meet at Piccadilly Circus in London's 'West End'. The cars, the tourist coaches, the red London buses, and the taxis go round a statue there. It is not a statue of a famous man or woman. People don't remember the statue's real name. They say: 'It's Eros, the Greek god of love'. Piccadilly Circus is a very busy place. It is busy day and night. People come here to the shops in the day time, and at night they come for a night out. They can eat in one of the restaurants in the West End near Piccadilly Circus.
