Лондон является столицей Соединенного Королевства, его экономическим, политическим и культурным центром. Это один из самых важных портов мира и один из крупнейших городов мира. Население Лондона с его пригородами составляет около 11 миллионов человек.
Лондон был столицей почти тысячу лет. Многие из его древних зданий все еще стоят. Наиболее известными из них являются Лондонский Тауэр, Вестминстерское Аббатство и Собор Святого Павла. Большинство посетителей также хотят увидеть здание Парламента и множество великолепных музеев.
Когда-то Лондон был небольшим римским городком на северном берегу Темзы. Постепенно он превратился в один из крупнейших городов мира.
Разные районы Лондона кажутся разными городами. Уэст-Энд - это богатый мужской мир магазинов, офисов и театров. Лондонский Сити - это район, в котором сосредоточено большинство офисов и банков; Королевская биржа и Банк Англии тоже здесь. Ист-Энд - район, где живут в основном работающие люди. Старая портовая зона теперь называется «Доклендс». Сейчас в Докленде появились новые офисные здания, а также тысячи новых квартир и домов.
Днем весь Лондон занят. Ночью в офисах тихо и пусто, но Вест-Энд остается живым, потому что именно сюда лондонцы приходят, чтобы повеселиться. Здесь есть два оперных театра, несколько концертных залов и много театров, а также кинотеатры. В близлежащем Сохо пабы, рестораны и ночные клубы заняты пол ночи.
Если надо на английском то вот:
London is the capital of the United Kingdom, its economic, political and cultural center. It is one of the world's most important ports and one of the largest cities in the world. London with its suburbs has a population of about 11 million people.
London has been a capital for nearly a thousand years. Many of its ancient buildings still stand. The most famous of them are the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey and St. Paul's Cathedral. Most visitors also want to see the Houses of Parliament and the many magnificent museums.
Once London was a small Roman town of the north bank of the Thames. Slowly it grew into one of the world's major cities.
Different areas of London seem like different cities. The West End is a rich man's world of shops, offices and theatres. The City of London is the district where most offices and banks are concentrated; the Royal Exchange and the Bank of England are here, too. The East End is a district where mostly working people live. The old port area is now called "Docklands". There are now new office buildings in Docklands, and thousands of new flats and houses.
By the day the whole of London is busy. At night, offices are quiet and empty, but the West End stays alive, because this is where Londoners come to enjoy themselves. There are two opera houses here, several concert halls and many theatres, as well as cinemas. In nearby Soho the pubs and restaurants and nightclubs are busy half the night.
