The Daily Life in London






Here we are in Cheapside. This famous London place is only a quarter of a mile long, and yet, there are a lot of business offices and important shops here. The whole street is full of life. Taxi-cabs, motor-vans, lorries, cars and buses pass up and down, from morning till night.

Although there is so much traffic we notice that there is little dust. The roads and the pavements are of stone, and when it rains, there is no mud.

From eleven to one o’clock the traffic is very busy. It is very dangerous to cross the road from one side to the other.

Soon we come to the Bank Square, where the main building of the Bank of England stands on one side of it. Besides there are the important buildings of the Royal Exchange and the Mansion House, the official residence of the Lord Mayor of London.

The busy people who hurry to and fro are businessmen and shopkeepers, but also we notice faces of tourists. They visit the famous public buildings: the Tower of London, St. Paul’s Cathedral, the British Museum, the National Gallery, BuckinghamPalace, the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, and the bridges over the Themes.

Close to the Houses of Parliament stands Westminster Abbey. In this lovely building we can learn much about the history of England. Most of the kings and queens of England were crowned here.

St. Paul’s Cathedral is a magnificent church. Sir Christopher Wren was the designer of many buildings in the City after the Great Fire of London, including St. Paul’s Cathedral.

Londoners and tourists enjoy expeditions by steamer down the Thames from Westminster to Greenwich. We pass under the bridges, and see the grim walls of the Tower of London.

It was a fortress and a prison for hundreds of years. When a ship moves under Tower Bridge a bell rings

Our steamer continues on its way to Greenwich. We hear the Greenwich time signal on the radio. Greenwich Time is the standard time.
