Question:1.What do you know about London?
2.Can you summarize the characteristic of London?

Go To London
London is a mixture of the Third and First world. Unlike comparable European cities, much of London looks unplanned and grubby, but that is part of its appeal..
When to Go
Your best chance of good weather is, of course, at the height of summer in July and August, but there's certainly no guarantee of sun even in those months and that is when you can expect the biggest crowds and highest prices.
Great churches:
A resting place of the royals, Westminster Abbey, is one of the most visited churches in the Christian world. It's a beautiful building, full of morose tombs and monuments, with an acoustic field that will send shivers down your spine when the choirboys clear their throats.
Museums & Their Booty
The British Museum is the oldest, most august museum in the world. It is so big and so full of 'stuff' collected by Victorian travelers and explorers that visitors often make the mistake of overdosing on the antiquities.
The Natural History Museum is one of London's finest Gothic-revival buildings, but even its grand cathedral-like main entrance can seem squashed when you're confronted with hordes of screaming schoolkids..
Cultural Centers
The South Bank, on the 'wrong side' of the Thames, looks spectacular at night, and includes the Hayward Gallery, the brilliant Festival Hall, the National Theatre and the National Film Theatre.The Institute for Contemporary Art is a great place to relax, hang out and see some cutting-edge film, dance, photography, theatre and art.
Markets
The huge Camden Markets could be the closest England gets to free-form chaos outside the terraces of football stadium.
The colourful Portobello Market is London's most famous street market. Brixton Market is a cosmopolitan treat made up of a rainbow coalition of reggae music, meat and fruit and vegetables.
No other area of Britain is as rich in history, tradition, and cultural associations as London. Throughout the capital there are venerable old buildings, unrivalled collections of art treasures of glorious parkland and colorful ceremonies to suit every possible taste and mood. History is from there and ,of course, it is worthwhile visiting London.
