London through my

eyes…
Exploring the beautiful and famous capital of London, England

By Robert Vană
• This unique city is full of history and breathtaking architecture
that started all the way back from the Roman times to our days.

• I had waited for my encounter with this city for such a long time,
to visit those places that I have dreamt of.

• My weekend in London was one of the greatest things that I have

ever done, and so different from any previous event of my life.
• I arrived at St. Pancras International
Terminal after a two-hour train trip.

• While arriving at the terminal, I was

able to appreciate its beauty,
adorned with a huge clock on the
wall.
• I got out of the coach and felt
that I was in a different world.

• London is a very busy city, with

thousands of people walking and
running on the escalators, stairs,
sidewalks, everywhere.
• First, we headed to the British
Museum, and my mind was blown away
with so much history surrounding me.
• Although it is the British Museum, you
might only find a small percentage of
the whole collections actually from
Britain, since there are objects from
Egypt with its mummies, Greece with
the Parthenon Marbles, Asia, Africa,
and ancient artifacts like the Rosetta
Stone. It was stunning!
To be honest, the first day was a little Once I got an idea about work, I was

transportation like: tubes / the underground,
buses, trams, etc.
While getting lost on the London streets, I could not believe how much green areas gave a unique touch to the city.Plenty
of places such as: St. James Park, The Victoria Tower Gardens, Parliament Square, Hyde Park, and many others were
characterized with vivid and wonderful colors of green, full of life with hundreds of pigeons, people on the grass having
chats over glasses of wine. Of course, I did sit on the grass too!
• I bought the London pass/passport, a great deal that
would allow me to visit over 80 tourist attractions and use
the hop-on and hop-off buses in the city.

• I enjoyed every minute because it is all a learning

experience!
