Have you ever been to London? How much do you know about London?
Now let me tell you.
London has a population of about 7, 000, 000. From about the year
1800 to 1945, London was the biggest city in the world. But now many cities are
even bigger than before.
London is famous for many things. Tourists come from all over the
world to visit its famous buildings and listen to the famous clock, Big Ben.
Like many big cities, London has problems such as traffic and
pollution, and they stop the city from developing. Every day about 1, 000, 000
people come and go by underground, but there are still too many cars and
buses in the streets. So the air isn't clean. However, it is cleaner than it
was 100 years ago.
For me, the best things in London are the parks. There are five
parks in the city centre. But my children's favourite place is Hamleys, the
biggest toy shop in the world.
