    Last month, I went to London with my mum and dad. Firstly, I had a picture in my head of Big Ben, cute taxis, the River Thames and so on.

    London is as good as I know it! As soon as I got off the train into St. Pancras Station, I found I was in heaven. You can see lots of people from every culture. The taxi drivers spoke in this city's English, which was almost like another language. And there were many "old" London taxis, just like the ones you see in the films.

    I found the people to be really friendly, for the most part. And the city was clean and exciting. I saw a show and it was popular in the country. I took many pictures of the interesting places. Big Ben sat tall over the River Thames, just as I saw in all the pictures and films. London is truly one of the most magical(神奇的)cities in the world.
