First time I went to London is when I was 5 years old, I went there because my uncle lives there. The station where he lives is called Canary Wharf, which is in zone 2. It is really convenient to travel to London, so my family will go to London almost every year. That is the reason I want to introduce London, it has almost become my second home.
First time I go to the attractions of London I went to the London Tower bridge there is a museum beside it. There are a lot of things to show, like how it works, what is inside the bridge, we also can go to the highest point of the tower and walk through it.The first time we went there they were preparing for the Olympic games 2012, a lot of advertisement is for Olympics.
Beside the tower bridge, there is a big warship, called HMS
Belfast (C35), it was really massive inside the ship, it makes people confused because it's big, but you can see a lot of weapons on the ship. There also have a game on the ship to find the doll inside the ship, when you find all of them, then you can have an opportunity to live on the boat for one day.
When we walk for 10 minutes, there is a great market, it's called Borough Market, these market have different things to sell, like wine, cheese, truffles, ham and jam. There are two areas, one is selling a lot of things, another one is selling food, like sandwich, cake, tortilla, lots of seafood, anything that related to food will be there, my favorite food in there is fish and chips with tartar sauce, they have the best fish and chips in London.
sometimes I will go to St.Paul, St.Paul is a big church nearby my uncle's house. It has 400 years history from 17 century to now. There are a lot of stained glass windows on the church. We also can go to the top of the St.Paul, we need to walk a lot of stairs to climb to the top. On the top, we can see many attractions of London, like the Gherkin, Leadenhall Building
Opposite side of St.Paul, we need to cross a bridge called London Millennium Footbridge, when we cross the bridge, there is a museum called Tate Modern, I will go there to see some art, which is free. You can walk by yourself and see those artworks. The building before Tate modern is a bankside power station, the Switzerland engineer came and rebuild the museum, now Tate modern has many famous artworks by Picasso, Marks Rothko, and Henri Matisse.
Sometimes Hyde park is a great park to go to. It's a huge park in zone 1 when you go inside the park, you can see many animals like swans, rabbits, ducks, and squirrels, you always can see someone having the picnic, I like to ride the pedalo on the big lake inside the Hyde Park.
London is a very good place to travel, because there have many activities you can try, like the pancake day.You can travel in city to know their technology, you also can go to countryside to enjoy and relax!
