London Excursion

The trip to London was interesting and useful. I found out a lot of facts which I didn't know before. Our guide was very professional, she is really interested in history of London.

The first stop was an old hospital, which was a school for poor boys before. This house exists now, but in the another place. Then we saw a meat market Smithfield and a famous symbol of London -red phone booths. There were a lot of booths many years ago, but now most people have a mobile phones and they don't need phone booths. I also remembered Pie Corner, where there was a big fire in the 17th century. Someone said that it was a punishment for the gluttony of the people. Another amazing building is St.Paul's Cathedral. It's very big and beautiful.

The second part of our excursion was Tower bridge and Tower of London, which I dreamed to see.

The one bad thing was an awfull weather.
