London is London!

My dream to visit London has come true! I think everybody wishes to visit London and see everything with own eyes. I know a lot about London. It is a wonderfull city! There are a lot of places of interest: museums, monuments and parks there. There are many theatres and cinemas in London, as well as many galleries. I want to tell you my impressions of London.

First of all public transport. The main means of transport are buses, the underground and taxi cabs. There are no trams or trolleybuses in London. It is my first surprise! Red London double-decker buses have become the symbol of London. Today there are also double-deckers of different colours: green, black and yellow. They are often decorated with advertising slogans.

Secondly, London is a green city. There are a lot of parks and gardens there. Our hotel was near Hyde Park. We also visited St.James and Regents Park.

The next thing that surprised me was the absense of teenagers in the streets. One Englishman explained that pupils are at school till 4 p.m. and after school they try to earn money for their needs. They do baby-sitting, help old people, do homework with small children.

Every country is proud of its past and London has a lot of things to see. There are many places of interest: the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, the Tower, Tower Bridge, Westminster Abbey, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Sguar, the British Museum, the National History Museum, Madam Tussauds Museum, Backingham Palace. All them have a long history.

I was impressed by everythung, but most of all by Madame Tussaurds Museum. Madame Tussauds Museum is an exhibition of hundreds of life-size wax models of famous people of yesterday and today. Here we can meet Elton John, Putin, Picasso, the Royal family, Julia Roberts, the Beatles and many others.

And, of course, shopping. Oxford Street is really the main shopping street. It is very long and there are a lot of big and small shops for different tastes.

Ten days were enough to visit the main sighseeings and feel the special atmosphere of London.

But I would like to go to London once more. I would like to speak to polite and calm English people, to sit in the cafe and read an English newspaper. People say that I can do these things in Russia, too. Of course, I can, but not in the same way, because London is London!
