No visit to London is plete without a look at the Tower of London, in the eastern part of the city. After Big Ben, the Tower may be London39。s most visited tourist spot. It is Europe39。s oldest palace and prison. Directly south is Tower Bridge, which is more than 100 years old. Among all the palaces in London, Buckingham Palace (白金漢宮 ) is the most famous. It has been the main London home of the royal (皇家的 ) family since Queen Victoria moved there in 1837. You can visit some of the rooms in August and September. And most mornings of the year you can watch the soldiers outside hanging the guard? About one hour by train out of London is the town of Windsor. Here you can visit another of the Queen39。s homes — Windsor Castle (溫莎城 堡 ). This wonderful building is Europe39。s biggest castle. There was a fire in 1992 and many of the rooms were badly burned.

An English pub is a good place to stop for lunch and a drink. You can get hot or cold food and try one of England39。s many ales (淡色啤酒 ). The English also like to have afternoon tea. This is toast and jam, or cake and another pot of tea. Fish and chips are also a traditional English meal. So look out for fish and chip shops in cities as well as by the sea.
