London In My Eyes

Dear 8th graders, here are your best papers. THUMBS UP for you. You did a GREAT job! Now enjoy your reading!

 

Welcome to London, the capital city of England and the United Kingdom. The city is situated on the River Thames. There were three Summer Olympic Games in London. You find here plenty of sights and modern buildings, for example, Buckingham palace or the Tower of London. The modern part of London is represented by The Gherkin or the Ferris wheel called the London Eye. But there are although very elegant phoneboxes and mailboxes in London. Personally, I really like Double-deckers, Piccadilly Cirkus and just mentioned modern building The Gherkin. In London and its surroundings there are eight airports. The most famous airport is London Heathrow Airport and a small airport in the middle of the city. One of the many interesting sights is the Tower of London. Formerly it was a residence of kings and the zoo. Today Beefeaters guard at the fortress and are dressed in typical red uniforms. There is also the oldest underground in the world, it is called "the Tube". Cycling is one of the main means of transport in the streets of London. It is one of the most visited cities in the world.

The last Royal Beasts left the Tower in 1832 for the new London Zoo.

Some of them specialise in short sightseeing tours for tourists. There were three Summer Olympic Games in London. More than eight million people live there. In London, there are many parks and gardens, for example, Hyde park and Regent´s park. Cycling is the favourite mean of transport.
