WESTMINSTER

The political centre of London is Westminster. It is the part of London where there are a lot of offices ['pɒfisiz]. If you go down Whitehall from Trafalgar Square on the right you will see a small street where the British Prime Minister ['praim 'minɪstə] lives. He lives at number 10 Downing ['daʊnɪŋ] Street. Whitehall is a wide street leading to Parliament ['pɑ:ləmənt] Square. This square is very large. On the left you can see a long grey building with towers which is the Houses of Parliament.

The large clock in one of the towers is Big Ben. Big Ben is the name of the clock and the bell in the clock tower of the Houses of Parliament. You can hear the sound of Big Ben every hour in London. The clock and the bell got their names after Sir Benjamin ['bendʒəmɪn] Hall. He was a tall man, whose nickname1 was Big Ben. So people know the clock as Big Ben.

The Thames [temz] is behind the Houses of Parliament and the bridge across it is Westminster Bridge.

On the other side2 of Parliament Square is Westminster Abbey.3 It is one of the most famous and beautiful churches in London. It is very old too. It is more than nine hundred years old. Many English kings and queens are buried4 there. Westminster Abbey is famous for its Poets’ Corner. Many great writers are buried in it, for example Charles Dickens and Rudyard Kipling. The Abbey with its two tall towers looks really wonderful.

The Queen of England lived in Buckingham Palace. It is a beatiful building with a monument in front of it which is the Queen Victoria Memorial [mə'mɔ:riəl]. It takes people ten to
