London is famous for its historic buildings St. Paul’s Cathedral, the Houses of Parliament, where you can see and hear the famous clock, Big Ben. It’s also famous for its parks. I am going to visit London Eye, National gallery and Trafalgar Square. Children’s favorite place is Hamleys, which is the biggest toyshop in the world.
