We have been asked as part of Challenge 4 to write about a place we would like to find our way to. The place I would like to find my way to is London!
I know it's just 'across the pond' and doesn't seem very exotic, but after researching it for my geography project I would really like to go and see all the things London has to offer. I would go to the Victoria and Albert Museum first, as that is what I'd like to see the most and I've heard it is amazing. I would see London Tower, London Bridge and Tombs, Madame Tussuad's Wax Museum, take a trip on the London Eye, go shopping, see Buckingham Palace... Everything!
My questions about London are;
I would love to know what it really is like to live in London?
What is a great secret spot that is a must see?
Best places to shop?
What is the most interesting thing in London's history that no one really knows?
I already know that London is the most populated city in Europe. I know that it suffered badly during the London Blitz. There was the Great Fire of London that started in a bakers shop. Victoria I was the first monarch to live in Buckingham Palace and one of the longest reigning. Parts of the iron fencing around the palace was used during the war the make weapons. When the Royal family are in Buckingham Palace they fly the Union Jack above and vica versa when they're not. I also know that Elizabeth I was the first person to enter the Tower of London as a prisoner and come out uncharged or sentenced to death (she was sent there by her sister Queen Mary). That's all I can remember right now.
Thanks,

Hello Roisin!
ReplyDeleteMy name is Abbey and I found your blog through the Edublogs Student Challenge. I have always wanted to visit London too! The only difference is that I would have a longer trip coming from the U.S.A. I never knew that about Elizabeth I . . . that's really interesting!
