From the earliest times the prosperity of London depended upon its water-born trade, and now London is one of the largest ports of the world. Historical and geographical circumstances have made London one of the world’s most important commercial and cultural centres.

Everybody has heard of the two main districts of London - the East End and the West End. There are not merely geographical names. The West End consists of the fashionable houses of the rich, of art galleries, many famous museums, theatres, palaces and parks. The East End was and still is a district full of different industries.

The City, which is the banking and commercial centre of the country and Whitehall - the political centre of England - are situated in the West End.

The names of the streets and districts of London are often connected with the history of the city and the country. Let’s take for example such names as Trafalgar Square, Soho, Charing Cross, Piccadilly, etc.

Piccadilly is a fashionable shopping centre. Its famous fountain with a statue of Eros, the Greek god of love, attracts tourists and young people.

There are many parks in London. Hyde Park is a place where Londoners like to rest and where crowds of people may be seen on the «Speaker’s Corner» listening to Hyde Park Speakers. Here, on a Sunday morning, you’ll find a number of odd-loking people, each standing on a box or small platform that he has brought with him, and each making a long speech about something he believes to be important. Small crowds gather and argue and ask questions and then drift away to the next speaker.

The most famous older buildings in London include Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Westminster Abbey and the Tower of London.
