Lovely London

This summer I was in London for 4 days from the 4th to the 8th of September. I enjoyed this trip to the capital of England a lot and I liked all its monuments, parks, culture and customs very much.

During my stay I saw lot things like historical monuments, beautiful parks and busy places where local people met. I saw Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Piccadilly Circus, Tower Bridge, the British Museum, the National Gallery, St Paul´s Cathedral, Harrods, Shakespeare´s Globe Theatre, Trafalgar Square, The London Eye, the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park, the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace, the Princes Diana Memorial, Southwark Cathedral, Borough Market, Camden Town, etc.
All of these places were very beautiful. Now I’m going to describe some of them.
Big Ben is known in almost all the world as the famous clock of the tower of Parliament.
Westminster Abbey is a very beautiful gothic cathedral with a lot of different chapels. It has a corner dedicated to poets where there is a statue of Shakespeare. There you can also find the coronation throne and the tombs of many English kings and queens.
Shakespeare´s Globe is a beautiful theatre with pretty paintings and amphitheatres. It also has a museum were you can see clothes, weapons, the secrets of the theatre, and you can go around the outside listening to its history.
The National Gallery, one of the most important museums in Europe, exhibits paintings from the XIII to the XX century. You can see some paintings like “the Sunflowers” by Van Gogh, “the Virgin of the Rocks” by Leonardo Da Vinci, and many more paintings by artists like Velazquez, Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Monet, Michelangelo, Botticelli, etc.
In St Paul´s Cathedral there are tombs of many famous people like Alexander Fleming, Lord Nelson, etc. In the cathedral you can go through 3 different galleries; one called whispering gallery 30 meters from the ground floor, another called the stone gallery 53 meters up and the last called the golden gallery 85 metersup. From the last oneyou have a very good and beautiful view of the city.
Hyde Park, it is one of the biggest parks in London, covering 140 hectares. It is a very beautiful place that is open from 5 in the afternoon to midnight.
Piccadilly Circus, it is a very busy place in London, it is full of shops and many people walk through these streets of the west of the city.
