One day before going to London Boris decided to visit his friend Alan who had been to London for several years. He wanted to ask Alan about places of interest in London.

 

B.: Where would you advise me to go in London first of all?

A.: You know, as for me I should first go to the British Museum.

B.: Is the British Museum large?

A.: Oh, it’ll take you not less than a whole day to have a good look around it. But you should visit not only the Museum there. There are a lot of places of interest. Houses of Parliament first of all. The building of the new Houses of Parliament was built in 1868. Have you heard of Big Ben?

B.: Certainly, I have. It is the clock.

A.: It is a famous tower clock. Big Ben is really not a clock but the bell on which the hours are struck. Besides Big Ben, there are four Little Bens, which strike before Big Ben.

B.: Where is the residence of the Queen?

A.: In Buckingham Palace. They have the Changing of the Guard in front of the palace every morning at eleven o’clock. Go there by all means.

B.: What else will you advise me to see in London?

A.: Trafalgar Square with the tall Nelson Column in it. Trafalgar Square and Hyde Park are the places where mass meetings and demonstrations are held. Hyde Park is the largest park in London.

B.: Go on, please.

A.: Then comes the Tower of London and St. Paul’s Cathedral.

B.: I’ve read something about the Tower. When was it built?

A.: It was built in the 11th century by William the Conqueror. Now there is a museum where the crown, jewels and other treasures are held. The Tower Bridge is one of the finest bridges over the Thames.

B.: And the last question. You didn’t say a word about the shops in London.

A.: The West End is the part of London where you’ll find most of the shops.

B.: Thank you very much.

A.: Not at all. I wish you a pleasant trip to London.
