London is a big city, but many of the people who live there regard it as a number of small towns

put together. Each district has it own identity and atmosphere and some parts are even described by their

inhabitants as 'villages'. Much of the center of the city consists of shops and businesses and the majority

of people live in the suburbs. A great many of them travel to work in the city every day by train, bus,

tube or car; this is called commuting. Commuters might spend as much as two hours every morning

getting to work and another two hours getting home again. The cost of living in London is higher than in

most other parts of Britain, and many people are paid extra money on top of their salaries because of this.

Millions of visitors come to London every year from all over the world to see the famous sights, such as

Buckingham Palace, where the Queen lives, the clock tower from which Big Ben sounds the hours, and

many other historic buildings. London is also very famous for its theaters, red buses and black taxis

Some people find it a noisy, dirty place but it has many large, pleasant parks where everyone can enjoy

some peace and quiet. London has many attractions, both for people from overseas and for people from

other parts of Britain.
