London
1. The capital of Great Britain is London. It lies in the South East of England on the banks of the river Thames. London is one of the largest cities of the world and the largest port and an industrial centre of the country. It streches
for nearly thirty miles from north to south and for thirty miles from west to east. 2. The historical centre of London is the City. Its territory is only one square mile, but it is the most important financial and business centre of the
whole country, the heart of its business life. Almost all important British banks
and a number of foreign banks have their offices there.
3. Other attractive areas of London are the West End and Westminster. Here you can see a lot of historical monuments and places of interest. A lot of
people from different countries of the world come to London on business or as tourists and do sightseeing tours by special buses. They attend cinema and
theatre performances, concerts in the concert halls, visit museums and art galleries, do their shopping in the shopping areas.
4. The East End presents a sharp contrast to the West End and Westminster. It is the district of factories, plants and docks. The narrow streets and poor houses are much less attractive than the rich and beautiful buildings of
the other districts of London. But still the East End is very important part of the capital due to its contribution to the economic development of the country.
