I’m going to talk about London, the capital and the largest city in the UK.

London is a popular tourist destination as visitors can see hundreds of beautiful sights. There are a lot of museums and galleries in London. In central London tourists can visit the main shopping areas of Oxford Street, Regent Street and Bond Street, and the entertainment centres of Soho and Piccadilly Circus.

There are a lot of places which are a must for every visitor. The most famous landmarks include St. Paul’s Cathedral, Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace which is the official residence of the Queen. Tourists shouldn’t miss the Changing of the Guard, London’s most popular spectacle.

I’d like to see Trafalgar Square, which is the geographical centre of London. Nelson’s Column in the middle of the square commemorates this national hero, who died during the Battle of Trafalgar. On the north side of Trafalgar Square there is the National Gallery, one of the finest art galleries in the world.

I think that London is a great city which has something for everyone.
