The Tower of London is one of the oldest buildings in London. It was build more then nine hundred years ago to guard the bridge that led into the city. Many kings lived here and over the 17th century when it became a prison.
Next to the Tower is Tower Bridge. One of many bridges that cross the river Thames. The middle of the bridge can open to allow big ships to go through up the river.
London used to be a busy port with ships from all over the world. Here in St. Catherine’s dock there were ships carrying wool, tea, spices, tobacco, rubber, sugar, coffee. But today most of the big ships stay outside London near the sea at the mouth of the river Thames. Today in St. Catherine’s dock there are only historic ships and pleasure boats.

P1. St. Paul’s Cathedral, at the top of Ludgrate Hill, was build on the site of the medieval church destroyed in the Great Fire. It’s Christopher Wren’s masterpiece. Wren also designed many other City churches. Many of these were destroyed or badly damaged by bombing during the last war. St. Paul’s, thought it was hit, escaped the fires that destroyed many of the buildings all around it.
St. Paul’s Cathedral is the scene of many great occasions. The funeral of Sir Winston Churchill and the wedding of Prince Charles to Lady Diana Spencer took place in this cathedral. This Wren’s most famous baroque masterpiece is worth admiring.
P2. Trafalgar Square is national centre of London. The square was named to commemorate Nelson’s victory at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. The pedestal of the Column is decorated with bas – relief’s representing Nelson’s most famous victories. At the base of Nelson’s Column there are four great lions.
The square has now become a huge traffic island, the statue and fountains have enlivened the space. That is why it remains a place of pilgrimade for visitors. When the square is not used for demonstrations, it is full of visitors feeding the pigeons or watching the traffic.
P3. On the north side of the square there are the National Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery. The National Gallery has an outstanding varied collection of paintings from British, Italian, Spanish, French, Dutch and other famous schools. It is an international rather than, as it is named, a National Gallery.
P4. Royal Palaces and house were building along the bank of the river Thames in medieval days, because the water was a busy way into and out of London.
The House of Parliament, called officially the Palace of Westminster, was formerly a palace of king and queens. When the king was in residence at Westminster his court was likewise in residence. There not only Royal council of bishops. Nobles and ministers assembled, but also that very special from of Council later known as the Parliament. The place was used both a royal residence and also as a parliament house until the sixteen century. In the course of the sixteen century when the royal family mowed to the new palace within hall a mile of Westminster – Whitehall Palace, the Westminster Palace was occupied by Parliament and became its parliament home. So the site of Westminster has been involved with the government of England for 500 years.
The Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland consist of the House of Lords and the House of Commons.

Westminster Abbey
Westminster Abbey lies near the river Thames opposite the Houses of Parliament. It owes its name “Westminster” to the fact that it was London’s most “westerly minster” or “monastery” in contrast to St. Paul’s cathedral which was the city’s “east minster” although the building has the dimensions of the cathedral. It is officially only a church of a dieses. It’s however a very important church since from the time of the coronation of William the Conqueror in 1066 partially all members of the English and late the British Royal plaques of generals, politicans, scientists, scholars and other important people from the last thousand years of English history. These attract many visitors as to just the tomb of the Unknown Soldier which lies in the Abbey in commemoration of all British soldiers who have known no grave and which has become almost a place of pilgrimage in its own right. No visit to the Abbey is complete without a stroll to the self-transept where in Poet’s Corner are the graves and memorial plaques of famous poets and writers such as Geaffrey Chaucer (1340-1400), William Shakespeare and Charles Dickens.
