Millions of people visit London every year from all over the world. If you travel there, you'll find many
fascinating things to see and do. During August and September, you can visit Buckingham Palace. That's where
the Queen lives most of the year. It has about 600 rooms, but you'll see only state rooms where the Queen
entertains guests. In the morning, a colorful ceremony called "changing of the guard" takes place in the
courtyard. One group of palace guards off duty, and another troop arrives to replace them.
You can tour the Tower of London, a historic fortress that was once a royal palace. It was also used as a
prison for hundreds of years. Two of the wives of King Henry VIII-Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard-were
put to death here. The Crown Jewels are a popular attraction at the Tower. This collection of jeweled crowns,
swords, scepters, and other royal objects is only used on special occasions, such as the crowning of a new ruler.
Be sure to visit Westminster Abbey, one of Britain's famous churches. The nation's kings and queens are
crowned here. Many rulers and famous citizens are buried here. There are also monuments to political figures
and poets.
The Houses of Parliament are along the Thames River, near Westminster Abbey. This is where the
government meets. Look up to see the clock tower with Big Ben, London's famous bell that rings every hour.
You can get on a boat nearby for a ride on the Thames. Other places you might want to see are Scotland Yard,
Madame Tussaud's, and the British Museum. You can find out about London's famous criminals in the Crime
Museum at Scotland Yard, the home of London's Metropolitan Police. At Madame Tussaud's, you'll see eerily
realistic, life-size wax figures of pop idols and historic figures. A great thing to see at the British Museum is the
collection of mummies, tomb paintings, and gold jewelry from ancient Egypt. The museum's Egyptian
collection is one of the largest in the world.
