London, the capital of Great Britain, is situated on the Thames River. It is the largest city in Europe

with a population of over eight million. It is divided into four parts: the City, Westminster, the West End

and the East End.

The City is small in area but it is the commercial heart of London. Many banks and offices are

situated there. St. Paul's Cathedral is very large and fine. It was built in 1710. The famous English

architect, Christopher Wren, planned and built St. Paul's Cathedral. If the City may be called the

commercial heart of London, Westminster is the center of the administration. We can see the Houses of

Parliament there. It is a beautiful building with two towers and a very big clock called Big Ben.

Westminster Abbey is opposite the Houses of Parliament.

The West End with the best and most expensive clubs, restaurants and theatres, beautiful houses and

parks is the place where rich people live. Working people live in the East End where there are no parks or

gardens and no fine houses.
