Introducing London

London is an ancient city. It’s one of the world’s most enjoyable cities. London

offers tourists an astonishing variety of scenes. It survived the Plaque, which killed

nearly 100 000 people, and the Great Fire which followed. It grew up around the

first point where the Roman invaders found the Thames narrow enough to build a

3

bridge. They founded a small Celtic settlement and by A.D. 300 they had turned it

into a sizeable port and an important trading centre. London today stretches for

nearly 30 miles from north to south and for nearly 30 miles from east to west. This

is the area known as “Greater London”. Greater London includes not only the City

and the Country of London, but the outer suburbs.

About 9 million people live in Greater London today. The population of London is

very cosmopolitan. For example, Whitechapel, in the East End, is a district largely

inhabited by Jewish traders and craftsmen. In Camden Town, an industrial district

in north-west London, is to be found the Cypriot Colony, both Greek and Turkish.

The West Indians settled mainly in Brixton, south of the river Thames, and in

North Kensington in West London. But the best known foreign quarter of London

is Soho. Add to these immigrants and refugees thousands of young people who

come

to

London

from

the

provinces

every

year

to

live

and

work.

London

dominates British life. It is the home of the nation’s commerce and finance, a big

port, the main centre of its legal system, culture and the press. The two landmarks

that are a guide to the growth of London are St. Paul’s Cathedral in the City and

the group of buildings near Westminster Bridge, the Palace of Westminster and

Westminster Abbey at Westminster. Round St. Paul’s is the original London, the

oldest part, with a history of almost two thousand years. Old St. Paul’s was built

during Norman times. It was burnt in the Great Fire that destroyed London in

1666. Out of all historic buildings St. Paul’s Cathedral, the greatest of English

churches, is perhaps the most famous (built by Sir Christopher Wren) with its huge

dome and rows of columns. It is considered to be a fine specimen of Renaissance

architecture. The massive dome is topped by a gold cross which glitters when the

sun strikes. You may climb up the three hundred and sixty five steps to the dome if

you wish.

Westminster,

with

the

Palace

and

Abbey,

is

six

hundred

years

younger.

Westminster Abbey is regarded as the centre of the Westminster area. In this lovely

Gothic building, which stands opposite the Houses of Parliament, we can learn

much about events of long ago. The oldest part of the building dates from the

eighth century. It was a monastery- the West Minster.

The Towers were built in 1735-1740. Most of the kings and queens of England

since William the Conqueror have been crowned here, and you may see the ancient

Coronation chair. The Abbey is sometimes compared with a mausoleum, because

many great men have been honored by burial in Westminster Abbey. If you go past

the magnificent tombstones of kings and queens, past the gold-and-silver banners

of the Order of the Garter, which are hanging from the ceiling, you will come to

Poets’ Corner. The Abbey is famous for its stained glass. There are many other old

buildings in the Westminster area. These are the Houses of Parliament, and the

façade of Buckingham Palace. The Clock Tower of the Houses of Parliament is

famous for its big hour bell, known as “Big Ben” after Ser Benjamin Hall, a very

tall and stout man, who was in charge of producing this bell. It weights 13.5 tons

and

has

nearly

7

meters

in

diameter. The

City

is

the

heart

of

London,

its

commercial and business centre. Here is situated the Tower of London that comes

4

first among the historic buildings of the city. The Tower of London was founded by

Julius Caesar and in 1066 rebuilt by William the Conqueror. It was used as a

fortress, a royal residence and a prison. To the west of the City there are finest

theatres, cinemas and concert halls, the large museums, the most luxurious hotels,

the largest department stores, and the most famous shops. The name “West End”

came to be associated with wealth, luxury, and goods of high quality. Here is

situated Buckingham Palace, the Queen’s residence, and the Palace of Westminster,

the seat of Parliament. The Port of London is to the east of the City. Here are miles

and miles of docks, and the great industrial areas that depend upon shipping.

London has more than 20 bridges over the Thames: the Tower Bridge, Waterloo

Bridge, London Bridge and so on. London Bridge was originally made of wood,

and the first stone bridge wasn’t built until 1176. A new London Bridge replaced

this in 1931, but you won’t find this London Bridge now either, as it was sold to

America in 1972. It is now a tourist attraction there. Like many capital cities,

London grew up along a major river. The Thames divided London sharply in two.

Most of central London is on the North bank of the river. It is always very

interesting for tourists to take a trip along the Thames in a boat as it gives a striking

panorama of London. Special tourist buses go on two-hour circular tours. But the

best way to see the city quickly is from the top of London red double-decker buses.

The other quick and easy way of getting around London is by “Tube”- the

Underground railway. London is an ancient city. But it is also a living city and like

all living cities it is constantly developing.

Introducing Soho

Soho is an area of the City of Westminster and is part of the West End of London.

Long established as an entertainment district, for much of the 20th century Soho

had a reputation as a base for the sex industry in addition to its night life and its

location for the headquarters of leading film companies. Since the 1980s, the area

has undergone considerable gentrification. It is now predominantly a fashionable

district of up market restaurants and media offices, with only a small remnant of

sex industry venues. Soho is a small, multicultural area of central London; a home

to industry, commerce, culture and entertainment, as well as a residential area for

both rich and poor. It has clubs, including the former China white nightclub; public

houses; bars; restaurants; a few sex shops scattered amongst them; and late-

night coffee

shops that

give

the

streets

an

"open-all-night"

feel

at

the

weekends. Record shops cluster in the area around Berwick Street, with shops such

as Phonica, Sister Ray and Reckless Records.

Introducing Whitechapel

Whitechapel is a district in the East End of London, England, in the London

Borough of Tower Hamlets. It is located 3.4 miles (5.5 km) east of Charing and

roughly bounded by Middle sex Street and Man sell Street to the west, Fashion

Street to the north, Cambridge Heath Road and Sidney Street to the east and The

Highway to the south. Because the area is close to the London Docklands and east

of the city, it has been a popular place for immigrants and the working class. The

area was the centre of the London Jewish community in the 19th and early 20th

century,

and

the

location

of

the

infamous Whitechapel

Murders believed

to

involve Jack the Ripper in the late 1880s. In the latter half of the 20th century,

Arranging a sightseeing tour

-

-

No, not yet. Do they arrange sightseeing tours here at the hotel?

-

Yes, there is a tour every afternoon leaving here at 2 p.m.

-

Can I still make it?

-

No, I’m afraid you’ve just missed it. It’s 5 past 2 now.

-

Then I’ll book a seat for tomorrow afternoon.

-

Do I’m sure you’ll find it very enjoyable.

-

Planning a walking tour in Whitechapel.

-

By the way, what are your plans for tomorrow morning?

-

Nothing special.

-

Would you like to make a walking tour of the city?

-

Thanks. I’d love to. What will we start with?

-

Let’s start with Whitechapel Gallery.

-

Not a bad idea. With pleasure.

London Transport

The most popular means of the city transport in London is a double-decker, a bus

that has two platforms for passengers. Bright-red buses look very nice in the streets

of London. There are also green single-deckers, they run from London to the

country and are called the Green Line. There are also the red single-decker buses,

which are called Red Arrows. A bus has a driver and a conductor. There are two

sorts of bus-stop: compulsory and request. When you’ve got on the bus, the

conductor says:”Fares, please!”. You say where you want to go and he tells you

how much to pay: you pay him and he gives you a ticket. In Britain the traffic

keeps to the left. The traffic lights are also different there. The red light means

“Stop”, the green means “Wait”, and only when you see the yellow light, which

means “Cross”, you may cross the street. “Keep left” is the general rule in GB and

people keep left. You can get to most places in London very quickly if you take the

Underground, or “Tube”, as it is called. But don’t travel between 7.30 and 9.30 in

the morning, or 4.30 and 6.30 in the evening. There are the “rush hours”. There are

7

8 lines on the London Underground. You can also use Docklands Light Railway |

DLR in London but only during the week-ends and until 9.30p.m.

Getting Round the City

Help me find the way

-

Excuse me, please. Could you tell me how to find the travel agency? It is in

Dover Street.

-

Dover Street? Ah, yes, it’s further down the road. Go straight down here to

the third set of traffic lights and then turn left. Dower Street is the first street

on the left.

-

I see. Is it a long way? Can I walk or should I take a bus?

-

It’s not too far, about half a mile. There is no bus from here. You would have

to walk to Piccadilly and take a bus from there, a number 41.

-

I think, I’ll walk all the way to Piccadilly and Dower Street. The first turning

on the left, you said?

-

Yes, that’s right. When you turn the left you’ll see the window display and

the bright posters of the travel agent’s in the distance. It’s right on the corner

of Dower Street.

-

Thank you.

***



Just a minute, sir. Didn’t you see that signal?



Yes, I did, officer.



Then why did you cross the street?



There weren’t any cars coming and I thought it was safe.



It doesn’t make any difference. “Don’t walk” means “Don’t walk” even if

there is no traffic coming.



You are absolutely right, officer. I know that.



Well, don’t let it happen again. If you do you might be fined for jaywalking.



I won’t, officer. You can be sure of that.
