famous squares in the UK. At its centre

four lion statues at its base. It is a site
of political demonstrations.
The name commemorates the Battle of
Trafalgar (1805), a British naval victory
of the Napoleonic wars.
The National Gallery, founded in 1824, houses a rich collection of
over 2,300 paintings dating from the mid-13th century to 1900. Its
collection belongs to the public of the UK and entry to the main collection

Buckingham Palace
(see map E8)
Buckingham Palace is the
official London residence of the
British monarch located in the City
of Westminster.
Originally
known
as
Buckingham House, it was a large
townhouse in the 18th. During the
19th century it was enlarged,
principally by architects John Nash and Edward Bore, forming three wings
around a central courtyard. Buckingham Palace finally became the official
royal palace of the British monarch on the accession of Queen Victoria in
1837.
The Queen’s Gallery was built on the site and opened to the public in
1962 to exhibit works of art from the Royal collections. The Garden
Parties, usually three, are held in the summer, usually in July. The
Forecourt of Buckingham Palace is used for CHANGING OF THE GUARDS,
a major ceremony and tourist attraction (daily during the summer
months; every other day during the winter).
The palace, like Windsor Castle, is owned by the British state. It is
not the monarch's personal property. The Buckingham Palace Garden is
the largest private garden in London.
Westminster
(see map F-G8)
Westminster is an area of Central
London, within the City of Westminster.
It lies on the north bank of the River
Thames. It has a large concentration of
London's
historic
and
prestigious
landmarks
and
visitor
attractions,
including Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey.
The name Westminster was the ancient description for the area
around Westminster Abbey – the West Minster, or monastery church, that
gave the area its name – which has been the seat of the government of
England (and later the British government) for almost 1,000 years.
Westminster is the location of the Palace of Westminster, which houses
the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
Big Ben is the nickname for the great bell of the clock at the north
end of the Palace of Westminster and is often extended to refer to the
clock or the clock tower as well. Big Ben is the largest four-faced chiming
clock and the third-tallest free-standing clock tower in the world. It
celebrated its 150th anniversary in May 2009. The original bell was a 16ton bell, cast on 6 August 1856. The bell was named in honour of Sir
Benjamin Hall, (British civil engineer and member of Parliament) and his
name is inscribed on it.
10 Downing Street, colloquially
known in the United Kingdom as "Number
10", is the headquarters of Her Majesty's
Government and the official residence and
office the Prime Minister.
Along the Thames (G8-G7-G6-H6-J6-K6-L6)
The London Millennium Footbridge is a
pedestrian-only steel suspension bridge crossing the
River Thames, linking Bankside with the City. It
opened in June 2000. It allows people to go from Tate
Modern to Saint Paul’s cathedral
The Globe Theatre was a theater associated with William
Shakespeare. It was built in 1599 by Shakespeare's playing company and
was destroyed by fire on 29 June 1613.A modern reconstruction of the
Globe opened in 1997. It is approximately 230 metres from the site of
the original theatre.
Tower Bridge is a combined bascule and
suspension bridge over the River Thames. Its
construction started in 1886 and took eight years.
The bascules are raised around 1,000 times a year.
The bridge consists of two towers which are
tied together at the upper level by means of two horizontal walkways.
The bascule pivots and operating machinery are housed in the base of
each tower. Its present colour dates from 1977 when it was painted red,
white and blue for the Queen’s Silver Jubilee. Originally it was painted a
chocolate brown colour.
Tate Modern is Britain’s national museum of
international modern art .The galleries are housed in
the former Bankside Power Station which was built
between 1947 and 1963. The power station closed in
1981. The building was converted by architects Herzog and De Meuron.
It was inaugurated by the Queen in 2000.
The “must-see” things at the Tate modern:



Pablo Picasso (level 3- room 5)
Pop Art : Andy Warhol (level 5-room 7)
Views on the River Thames (from top level) café (level 2)
Francis Bacon (28 October 1909 – 28 April 1992) was a figurative painter of
English descent who was in the late 1980s the world's most expensive living painter.
His artwork is known for its bold, austere, graphic and often tortured imagery.
Andrew Warhola (August 6, 1928 – February 22, 1987), known as Andy
Warhol, was an American painter, printmaker and filmmaker who was a leading
figure in the visual art movement known as Pop Art.

From the Royal Pavilion, to the seaside fun of Brighton Pier, the Brighton Wheel
and the famous pebble beach, Brighton offers something for everybody.
The Royal Pavillion
The Royal Pavilion is a former royal residence
located in Brighton, England, United Kingdom. It was
built in three stages, beginning in 1787, as a seaside
retreat for George, Prince of Wales, who became the
Prince Regent in 1811. It is built in the Indo-Saracenic
style prevalent in India for most of the 19th century.
On 29 March 2014, the Royal Pavilion was host to
one of a number of the very first legal gay marriages to take place in the United
Kingdom following the passing of the 2013 Same Sex Couples Act.
The Lanes
Once the heart of the old fishing town, Brighton's historic quarter is an intricate
maze of twisting alleyways with a mix of antiques, jewellery, interior design and
famous labels. You will see 400 year old fishermen's cottages, quaint old pubs and
brick-paved streets. Coffee (and tea) culture has hit The Lanes in the chic new cafés
and there are plenty of eating places from seafood specialities to gourmet vegetarian.
Bordering the The Lanes and the North Laines is North Street, the main 'high
street' that runs through the centre of Brighton. Here you can find the usual shops
such as Mango, Snappy Snaps, Body Shop, The Pier and Boots alongside a few more
unusal stores like Kurt Geiger Shoes.
North Laine
Half a square mile that is home to over 320 shops, 25 cafés, 15 pubs and 4
theatres. A real mix of the ethnic. Here you can find everything from 50s kitsch to
millennial fashions to Art Deco and Nepalese slippers. Great for foodies too, there's a
specialist cheese shop, organic health food stores, handmade fudge shop and Chinese
supermarket with a noodle bar above.
Churchill Street
For all the big name stores, lots of specialist shops, lively cafés and restaurants,
head up to the state-of-the-art Churchill Square Shopping Centre. Located right in
the heart of Brighton, there are over 80 shops all under one glass-domed roof.
The Seafront
Brighton Marine Palace and Pier (long known as the Palace Pier) opened in 1899.
It features a funfair, restaurants and arcade halls. For 8£ you can get a ride on the
Brighton Wheel, the view is said to be stunning!

Pride.

Covent Garden and Soho: The « TRENDY » LONDON
Covent Garden (map G5) is famous for its
shops, street performers, bars, restaurants,
theatres and the Royal Opera House. Covent
Garden is an Italian-style piazza packed with
restaurants, bars and fashionable boutiques.
Surrounded by Theatreland, in the heart of
London's West End, the area is recognised as
the capital's premier entertainment and
leisure destination. Covent Garden is the
only area of London licensed for street
entertainment and as such attracts performers from around the world
Soho (map E5-F5) is a small, multicultural area of central London; a
home to industry, commerce, culture and entertainment, as well as a
residential area for both rich and poor. It has clubs, public houses;
restaurants; and late-night coffee shops that give the streets an "openall-night" feel at the weekends. Many Soho weekends are busy enough to
warrant closing off of some of the streets to vehicles. Record shops
cluster in the area around Berwick Street, with shops such as
Blackmarket Records and Vinyl Junkies. Soho is also the home of
London's main gay village, around Old Compton Street
