THINGS TO DO IN LONDON
Getting around
You can choose between a hackney cab, a double-decker or the tube. A hackney cab is one of the
18,000 famous black taxis in London. A double-decker is another name for the red buses in London. And the
tube is the London underground.
The river
The Thames runs through the city. Take a boat ride and see all the famous sights, like Big Ben, the
Tower of London or St Paul’s Cathedral. It’s also the best way to see the bridges: London Bridge, Tower
Bridge etc.
Museums
You can’t visit London and not go to the British Museum. Also, the National Gallery in Trafalgar
Square has the best collection of European paintings in the world. Then there’s the Tate Modern. It’s full of
art from Matisse to Miro. Of course, you can’t miss Madame Tussauds. Here you can see wax models of
famous people, like David Beckham, the world-known footballer.
Sports
There are lots of football teams. Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal are the biggest. For tennis, you can
visit Wimbledon, of course. Also, every April there’s the London Marathon with about 30,000 runners.
Entertainment
Do you like films? Get down to Leicester Square then. It’s full of cinemas with all the latest films. Or,
you can watch a show like The Phantom of the Opera in the West End. Are you looking for restaurants?
Well, there are lots to choose from.
