Review of "London" (BR17)

A wide river, a small village, a new country... (Introduction)

   Come with us to London - a city as old as the Romans, and as new as the twenty-first century. There are places to go - from Oxford Street to Wetminster Abbey, from Shakespeare's Globe Theatre to Wimbledon Tennis Club. And these things to do - ride on the London Eye, visit the markets, go to the theatre, run in the London Marathon. Big, beautiful, noisy, exciting - that's London.
   There are various transportation in London. Underground Train, famous red bus, black cabs and so on. The trains go from early morning to about midnight. It is useful if we don't use it in the rush hour. The buses take us around many of the interesting places in the city. It takes about one and a half hours, but we can get off the bus for a visit and get on again later. The drivers of the cabs know all the 25,000 streets in the centre of London.
   And there are a lot of spots to visit in London.
   I'd like to visit London someday.
