Things to do in London
You can’t visit London and not go to the
British Museum. Also, the National Gallery
in Trafalgar Square has the best collection of
European paintings in the world. Of course,
you can’t miss Madame Tussauds. Here you
can see wax models of famous people.
There are lots of London football teams.
Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal are the
biggest. For tennis, you can visit Wimbledon,
of course.
You can choose between a hackney cab, a
double-decker or the tube. A hackney cab is
one of the 18,000 famous black taxis in London.
A double-decker is another name for the red
buses in London. And the tube is the London
underground.
The Thames runs through the city. Take a boat
ride and see all the famous sights, like Big Ben,
the Tower of London or the London Eye. It’s also
the best way to see the bridges: London Bridge,
Tower Bridge, etc.

Things to do in London
You can’t visit London and not go to the
British Museum. Also, the National Gallery
in Trafalgar Square has the best collection of
European paintings in the world. Of course,
you can’t miss Madame Tussauds. Here you
can see wax models of famous people.
There are lots of London football teams.
Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal are the
biggest. For tennis, you can visit Wimbledon,
of course.
You can choose between a hackney cab, a
double-decker or the tube. A hackney cab is
one of the 18,000 famous black taxis in London.
A double-decker is another name for the red
buses in London. And the tube is the London
underground.
The Thames runs through the city. Take a boat
ride and see all the famous sights, like Big Ben,
the Tower of London or the London Eye. It’s also
the best way to see the bridges: London Bridge,
Tower Bridge, etc.
