London
London has a population of about 6,770,000. It lies on the River Thames. From about 1800 until the World War II, London was the biggest city in the world, but now there are many cities which are much bigger.
London is famous for many things. Tourists come from all over the world to visit its historic buildings, such as St Paul’s Cathedral and the Houses of Parliament, where you can see and hear the famous clock, Big Ben. They also come to visit its theatres, its museums, and its many shops.
Like many big cities, London has problems with traffic and pollution. Over 1,000,000 people a day use the London Underground, but there are still too many cars on the streets. The air isn’t clean, but it is cleaner than it was 100 years ago. Until 1956, London was famous for its fog or ‘smog’, which is a mixture of smoke and fog.
The best thing about London is the parks. There are five parks in the city centre. But children’s favourite place is Hamleys, which is the biggest toyshop in the world. It is 200 years old.
