Sightseeing in London
Hello there, my name is Ewan, I'm from Scotland and I'm 12 years old.
I was in London with my family last week and it was fantastic. We went
to London by plane, it was a very nice journey. When we arrived we
went to the hotel, which was marvelous, big and luxurious. The first
thing we visited was the London Eye, it was an incredible ride and you
can see the whole city when you are at 135 meters. After that we visited
the Big Ben, which is the clock on Elizabeth tower, which is next to the
houses of parliament. It is a beautiful clock and an imposing tower but
it is only 96 meters tall, so it is smaller than the London Eye. Then we
went to Hyde Park, which is one of the most important parks in London.
The park was colorful and lovely; there was even a lake. There we saw
Kensington Palace and the princess Diana memorial fountain. Later we
went to Buckingham Palace, where the Queen lives, and we saw the
changing of the guard, it was very exciting. Buckingham Palace is
enormous; it is way bigger than Kensington Palace. After that, we
visited Trafalgar Square, which is more important than Leicester
Square, because there you can find one of the most important museums,
the National Gallery and St Martin church. The National gallery sure is
big, but I think the British museum is bigger, and personally, I it was
the one I like the best. There you can find a lot of objects from all parts
of the world and from different ages, it is a really unforgettable
 experience. Then we visited the tower of London, it was a prison in the
beginning but now they keep the Crown Jewels. Next to it we saw
Tower bridge, an impressive suspension bridge, that has become one of
the symbols of London and it is often confused with London bridge,
which is longer that Tower bridge. Finally we went shopping in Oxford
street, the most important road in London and Europe's busiest shopping
street. To conclude the day we attended a football match in Stamford
Bridge, and we saw Chelsea playing against Manchester United. In my
opinion, Manchester is better than Chelsea and one of the greatest teams
in Europe. It was an extraordinary holiday, you should visit London and
see all the wonders this incredible city has.
