LONDON LANDMARKS
4/ Millions of people visit London every year from all over the world. If
you travel there, you’ll find many fascinating things to see and do.
7/ During August and September, you can visit Buckingham Palace.
That’s where the queen lives most of the year. It has about 600 rooms, but
you’ll see only state rooms where the queen entertains guests. In the
morning, a colorful ceremony called “changing of the guard” takes place
in the courtyard. One group of palace guards off duty, and another troop
arrives to replace them.
1/ You can tour the Tower of London, a historic fortress that was once a

royal palace. It was also used as a prison for hundreds of years. Two of
the wives of King Henry VIII—Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard—
were put to death here. The Crown Jewels are a popular attraction at the
Tower. This collection of jeweled crowns, swords, scepters, and other
royal objects is only used on special occasions, such as the crowning of a
new ruler.
6/ Be sure to visit Westminster Abbey, one of Britain’s famous churches.
The nation’s kings and queens are crowned here. Many rulers and famous
citizens are buried here. There are also monuments to political figures and
poets.
2/ The Houses of Parliament are along the Thames River, near
Westminster Abbey. This is where the government meets. Look up to see
the clock tower with Big Ben, London’s famous bell that rings every
hour. You can get on a boat nearby for a ride on the Thames.
5/ Other places you might want to see are Scotland Yard, Madame
Tussaud’s, and the British Museum. You can find out about London’s
famous criminals in the Crime Museum at Scotland Yard, the home of
London’s Metropolitan Police. At Madame Tussaud’s, you’ll see eerily
realistic, life-size wax figures of pop idols and historic figures. A great
thing to see at the British Museum is the collection of mummies, tomb
paintings, and gold jewelry from ancient Egypt. The museum’s Egyptian
collection is one of the largest in the world.
3/ For a good view of London, take a ride in the London Eye. This
enormous wheel takes you 443 feet (135 meters) above the London
skyline. Unlike a traditional Ferris wheel, the London Eye carries its
passengers in enclosed compartments.
