London has more than nine million visitors every year.They come and visit some of the most famous places in England:Big Ben, the Tower of London and the River Thames.
You can see some of the most interesting places in the city by getting on one of London's tour buses.It has an open roof and let you off at any places you want to visit.
The River Thames is London’s main waterway.It has shaped the capital’s landscape,history and geography.So one of the best ways of making sense of the city is to take a trip along the river.Much of the riverbank can now be walked along,particularly the south bank.
The clock tower of the Houses of Parliament,Big Ben,has become one of the main symbols of London.It rises up nearly 100 m to a golden point above the clock and a 13-ton bell. The sound of the bell,which you can hear at the beginning of many television and radio programmes,has become well-known throughout the nation.No visit to London is complete without a look at the Tower of London,in the eastern part of the city.After Big Ben, the Tower may be London's most visited tourist spot.
Sightseeing in London is great,but . So,the best way to start the day is to fill up on an English breakfast.For starters,have an egg,bacon,sausages,tomatoes,mushrooms, black pudding and fried bread.Then finish off with toast and jam,and a large pot of tea.You can buy an English breakfast in nearly every hotel,and at many restaurants and cafes.
An English pub is a good place to stop for lunch and a drink:You can get hot or cold food and try one of England's beers.Or you can sit outside one of the many roadside pubs and cafes in London,and simply watch the busy world go by.

Rome had the Forum. London has Speaker's Corner. Now always–on–the-go. New Yorkers have Liz and Bill.
Liz and Bill, two college graduates in their early 20s, have spent a whole year trying to have thousands of people talk to them in subway stations and on busy street corners. Just talk.
Using a 2-foot-tall sign that says, "Talk to Me." they attract conversationalists, who one evening included a mental patient, and men in business suits.
They don't collect money. They don't push religion. So what's the point?
"To see what happens, said Liz. " We simply enjoy life with open communication."
Shortly after the September 11,2001 attacks, they decided to walk from New York City to Washington, a 270-mile trip. They found they loved talking to people along the way and wanted to continue talking with strangers after their return.
"It started as a crazy idea, "Liz said." We were so curious about all the strangers walking by with their life stories. People will talk to us about anything: their jobs, their clothes, their childhood experiences, anything."
Denise wanted to talk about an exam she was about to take. She had stopped by for the second time in two days, to let the two listeners know how it went.
Marcia had lost her husband to a serious disease. "That was very heavy on my mind," Marcia said. "To be able to talk about it to total strangers was very good," she explained.
To celebrate a year of talking, the two held a get-together in a city park for all the people they had met over the past year. A few hundred people showed up, as well as some television cameramen and reporters.
They may plan more parties or try to attract more people to join their informal talks. Some publishers have expressed interest in a book, something they say they'll consider.
