London is divided into two parts "The City of London" or the rich West end and "The Westminster" or the poor East end. The City has its own government and its own police force. Its territory contains several banks and offices. Here modern buildings stand side by side with ancient architecture monuments, guardians of London's centuries-old history. First, you should visit Buckingham Palace, the official London residence of the sovereign, built in 1703 by the Duke of Buckingham. Then go to Westminster Abby, a national shrine where the kings and queens are crowned. It's also known for its Poets' Corner, a burial-vault of many distinguished poets and writers of England.

They don't resort to the help and do not like when the others do. Good-natured banter is very natural for the English, they can make fun of everything but sometimes their sense of humour is really black. It's not a secret that the English weather is as unpredictable as a convulsion of nature. So, Londoners often use it to start a conversation, and this is the only topic that they don't play a joke on. London is a very cosmopolitan city.
