LONDON

On Saturday we went to London. We went by train and we arrived at eleven o'clock and then we took the underground. We begun our visit in the British Museum, where we saw the Egiptian world, the Greek Parthenon of Athenea and Mesopothamian sculptures. After that, we went to the Convent Garden, which was an ancient market, but now is a place full of restaurants and shops. We ate our packet lunch there.
In the afternoon we followed our visit in Trafalgar Square, where Nelson Admiral's statue dominates all the surroundings. The National Gallery, which contains a great collection of paintings, is also in Trafalgar Square.
In our way to Westminster, we passed by Downing Street, where the Prime Minister lives. We visited Westminster Abbey, were all kings and queens of Great Britain have been crowned, and the Houses of Parliament.
After, we took the underground to Picadilly Circus. From there we all had some free time walking Regent Street and looking shop windows.
Not everybody got in time to the meeting point, but we were able to get back to Leamington safely.
I have enjoyed the visit and the explanations. We had a good day visiting the Britain's Capital City, London.
