II/ Read the paragraphs below carefully, and then put them in the correct order to

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,
