town in. England, London is two thousand years.
The heart of London is the City. The territory of the City is only about a

with Nelson's monument 185 feet high. Buckingham Palace is the royal residence.
Westminster Abbey is one of the most beautiful buildings in London. It contains the
memorials of many famous citizens of Britain. Across the road from Westminster
Abbey are the Houses of Parliament, the seat of the British Parliament.

fortress, a royal residence, a prison, and now it is a museum.
