Travel leaflet – 1.
What kind of London would you like to see? Rich and beautiful? Go to the West End! This part of London is the symbol of wealth and luxury.

The best hotels, shops, restaurants, theatres are situated there. Here are the historical places (Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, etc.) as well as the famous parks such as Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens.
If you want to see the busiest part of London – you should visit the City. It’s the heart of London, its financial and business center where a lot of banks offices and firms are situated. Few people live there, but over a million people come to the City to work here is situated the Tower of London.
If you want to see an industrial London – go to the East End. It was once the poorest district of London – with lots of factories, docks, narrow streets and unimpressive buildings. But the district is changing very fast.

Travel leaflet – 2.
If you are in London – start you sightseeing with the Houses of Parliament. Once a royal palace they are now the seat of the Government. It contains 500 apartments. Among them are the Clock Tower, the House of Lords and the House of Commons.

When the House is in session a Union Jack (the flag of the UK) flies from the tower by day and a light burns in the Clock Tower by night.
There is another famous sight there – Big Ben. Big Ben is actually the biggest bell on the Clock Tower that rings, but everybody thinks it’s a tower. The man in charge of the building of the tower was Sir Benjamin Hall.

He was very tall and workers called him Big Ben. So they called the bell Big Ben too.
