1 LONDON’ S SIGHTS Presentation

2 LONDON EYE London EyeThe British Airways London Eye The BA London Eye is a major feature of London's skyline. It is the world's highest observation wheel and offers passengers spectacular views of over 55 of London's most famous landmarks - all in just 30 minutes. Paris has the Eiffel Tower, New York the Empire State Building, and now London has the British Airways London Eye - an extraordinary symbol for an extraordinary city.

3 HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT Today the British Government is made up of the Monarch, the House of Lords and the House of Commons, both houses meet at the Houses of Parliament. The Houses of Parliament divide principally into two debating Chambers. The House of Commons comprises Members of Parliament (MP's) who are the elected representatives of the British people.

4 BIG BEN Possibly the most famous clock face in the world. The building is officially known as St Stephen's Tower, but it is more commonly referred to as Big Ben. "Big Ben" is actually the name of the largest bell inside the clock tower, which forms part of the Houses of Parliament.

5 THE TOWER OF LONDON The Tower of London is one of the most famous fortified buildings in the world. Its history begun in 1078 by William the Conqueror. The Tower has been a palace, prison, treasury, arsenal and even a zoo! Today the Tower houses the priceless Crown Jewels.

6 BRITISH MUSEUM The British Museum is the oldest public museum in the world and houses a huge collection of objects. In more than two hundred years, the museum has built up a collection of over six million objects. Highlights include the Elgin Marbles, Egyptian mummies, Rosetta Stone and the Mildenhall Treasure. There are extensive collections of Greek, Roman and Egyptian antiquities, plus coins, medals, prints and drawings.

7 SCIENCE MUSEUM The Science Museum is home to the world's most comprehensive collections of science, technology, industry and medicine. We can learn about space flight or find out about steam locomotives and the world's first aeroplanes. There are numerous extraordinary objects on display: Charles Babbage's calculating machine, Stephenson's Rocket and the Apollo 10 command module that made the first manned flight around the moon.

8 MADAME TUSSAUDS MUSEUM Millions and millions of people have flocked through the doors of Madame Tussauds since they first opened over 200 years ago and it remains just as popular as it ever was. There are many reasons for this enduring success, but at the heart of it all is good, old-fashioned curiosity.The museum-style ropes and poles have gone so guests can truly get up, close and personal with A-list celebrities, sporting legends, political heavyweights and historical icons, reliving the times, events and moments that made the world talk about them….

9 ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS. What is the oldest public museum in the world? What is the Big Ben? What can we learn in Science Museum? Is Julia Roberts in the Madame Tussauds? What is the London Eye?
