Hello there, my name is Ewan, I'm from Scotland and I'm 17 years old. I was in
London with my family last week and it was fantastic. My family and I visited this
city six years ago, but I didn't remember much since I was only eleven years old.
We went to London by plane; it was a very nice journey. When we arrived we
went to the hotel, which was marvelous, big and luxurious. The first thing we
visited was the London Eye, it was an incredible ride and you can see the whole
city when you are at 135 meters. After that we visited the Big Ben, which is next
to the houses of parliament. Then we went to Hyde Park. It is one of the most
important parks in London. The park was colorful and lovely; there was even a
lake. Later we went to Buckingham Palace, where the Queen lives, and we saw
the changing of the guard, it was very exciting. After that, we visited Trafalgar
Square there you can find one of the most important museums, the National
Gallery. There you can find a lot of objects from all parts of the world and from
different ages, it is a really unforgettable experience. Then we visited the tower
of London, it was a prison in the beginning but now. Next to it we saw Tower
Bridge, an impressive suspension bridge that has become one of the symbols of
London. Finally we went shopping in Oxford Street, the most important road in
London and Europe's busiest shopping street.
