KENSIGTON GARDENS

Covering 111 hectares (275 acres), Kensington Gardens is planted with formal avenues of magnificent trees and ornamental flower beds. It is a perfect setting for Kensington Palace, peaceful Italian Gardens, the Albert Memorial, Peter Pan statue and the Serpentine Gallery.

The Gardens are particularly popular for sunbathing and picnics in fine weather. It is also popular as a healthy walking route to work for commuters. The paths are used extensively by joggers and runners. Cycling is allowed on the designated path linking the Queen's Gate to West Carriage Drive, Mount Gate to the Broadwalk and the broadwalk itself from Black Lion Gate to Palace Gate.

In my opinion Kensington Gardens are a fantastic place If you want to relax, walking, doing sport…, however when we visited the Kensington Gardens was raining and we didn’t visit the gardens with a lot of time because all were wet.

In conclusion I think that we didn’t choose the best day to visit a wonderful place like Kensington gardens.

MADAME TUSSAUDS

Madame Tussauds is a famous wax museum in London with branches in a number of major cities. It was set up by wax sculptor Marie Tussauds.
The museum moved to its current location on Marylebone Road in 1884. In 1925 a fire destroyed many of the figures, but the moulds survived allowing the historical waxworks to be remade.
Madame Tussaud's wax museum has now grown to become a major tourist attraction in London incorporating the London Planetarium in its west wing.
It has expanded with branches in Amsterdam, Hong Kong, Las Vegas and New York City.
Today's wax figures include historical and royal figures, film stars, sports stars and famous murderers.

I liked it so much! That place impressed me a lot, because it was full of people, and between them were the statues of the famous people...and sometimes we got confuse, because they looked real!
And there was a part of the museum of horror...!! There were statues of horror characters, but there were real people dressed like a monster, too. They were frightning to the people that decided to enter there...because yoy had the option of go ahead and not enter there.
It was amazing!
Madame Tussauds were my favourite museum of London!

camden town

Camden Town is the name of an area within the London Borough of Camden, situated in London, England. It is occasionally shortened to Camden.

Camden Town is an inner-city district located in North London.
It is well-known for its markets, liberal attitude and associations with popular culture. Since the 1960s the The Roundhouse theatre and music venue has been a centre of alternative culture, and later associated with punk and Goth subcultures.



The markets are a major tourist attraction at weekends, selling goods of all types including fashion, lifestyle, books, food, junk/antiques and more bizarre items; they and the surrounding shops are popular with young people, in particular those searching for "alternative" clothing.

The Monument was designed by Christopher Wren. Is the tallest isolated stone column in the world. Is 61,67 meters tall.

The monument was made to commemorate the great fire, that burn all London in 1666. The real name is “The Monument of the great Fire of London”, but is more commonly known as The Monument. It is located at the junction of Monument Street and Fish Street Hill, from where the Great Fire of London started.


It is possible to reach the top of the monument by climbing up the narrow winding staircase of 311 steps. At the top, you can see all the city of London. At the base of the monument there are inscriptions in Latin, that tells the story of The Monument.

I like it very much because is very impressive and beautiful. It is situated in a little square where you can admire the monument. I felt very small when I looked up and saw the big column.

Some of us climbed up the 311 stairs and could see all London from the climb of the Monument. It was an amazing experience.

TOWER BRIDGE

Tower Bridge is a combined bascule and suspension bridge in London, England, over the River Thames. It is close to the Tower of London, which gives it it’s name. It has become an iconic symbol of London. Tower Bridge is one of several London bridges owned and maintained by the City Bridge Trust, a charitable trust overseen by the City of London Corporation.

The first Bridge was made of wood, but because of the Great Fire it had destroyed and after that it was rebuild of stone.

I liked it a lot because is very astonishing, very big and I loved the contrast of the Bridge who is old with the new buildings who are next to it. It’s very nice to see.
