In 1013, the King Ethelred burned the bridge in an attempt to divide the invading forces of Danish Svein Haraldsson. The rebuilt London bridge was destroyed by a storm in 1091, and again (this time because of the fire) in 1136.
The London bridge was built by John Mowlem let from 1967 to 1972 and inaugurated by Queen Elizabeth II in march of 1973.
This bridge has 283 meters long. The cost of 4 million pounds sterling was assumed in it’s in entirety by Bridge House Estates.
The current bridge is built on the same place that the bridge of Rennie, which was demolished carefully piece by piece while the new bridge was built, in this way remained in use for this process.
In the remembrance day of 2004, several bridges Londoners were decorated with red lighting to form part of a spectacle in which some aircraft overflying the path to the Thames. The lighting considerably improved the appearance of London bridge, so it was decided to keep up to the present and now illuminates the bridge at night.

Dear students, in your picture you can see the Tower Bridge, not the famous London Bridge (a common mistake, never mind). The photos I enclose are the "old" London Bridge

VICTORIA STATION

Also known as London Victoria. It is a major central London railway terminus, London Underground and coach station in the City of Westminster. It is the second busiest railway terminus in London after Waterloo. The station was opened on 27 March 1858. At the beginning of the twentieth century two parts of the station were rebuilt: the frontage and the service station. The area around the station also became a site for other forms of transportation: a bus station in the yard, a bus terminal to the south, and now, a terminal for trains to Gatwick Airport service. The station had a news cinema later a cartoon cinema that would show a continuous programme for travellers. The cinema was designed by Alastair Macdonald, and was in operation from 1933 until being demolished in 1981. The station was redeveloped internally in the 1980s.

The station is now the busiest on the London Underground system, serving nearly 80 million passengers per year.

Hyde Park

Hyde Park is one of the largest parks in central London, England and one of the Royal

Parks of London, famous for its Speakers' Corner.

In 1536 King Henry VIII confiscated Hyde Park from the monks of Westminster Abbey. It was used primarily for hunting. King Charles I opened the park to the public in 1637. The current park.

The park has become a traditional location for mass demonstrations. The Chartists, the Reform League, the Suffragettes and the Stop The War Coalition have all held protests in the park. Many protestors on the Liberty and Livelihood March in 2002 started their march from Hyde Park. The park was the site of The Great Exhibition of 1851, for which the Crystal Palace was designed by Joseph Paxton.

Hyde Park offers swimming and boating in summer and tennis all year round. Why not try bowls, putting or horse riding. There are also deck chairs and free band concerts in summer and regular guided walks throughout the year.

Kids won’t get bored in the Park. There’s swimming, boating, three playgrounds and facilities for tennis, cycling and skating. In summer, you can cool your feet in Diana Memorial Fountain and enjoy entertainment at the Lido.

Hyde Park is served by the bus and tube routes.

Picadilly Circus

Piccadilly Circus

Piccadilly Circus is a famous road junction and public space of London's West End in the City of Westminster, built in 1819 to connect Regent Street with the major shopping street of Piccadilly. In this context a circus, from the Latin word meaning a circle, is a circular open space at a street junction.

It now links directly to the theatres on Shaftesbury Avenue as well as the Haymarket, Coventry Street (onwards to Leicester Square), and Glasshouse Street. The Circus is close to major shopping and entertainment areas in the heart of the West End. Its status as a major traffic-intersection has made Piccadilly Circus a busy meeting place and a tourist attraction in its own right.

History:

The Piccadilly Circus tube station was opened March 10, 1906 on the Bakerloo Line, and on the Piccadilly Line in December of that year. In 1928, the station was extensively rebuilt to handle an increase in traffic.

The Holford plan is referenced in the short-form documentary film "Goodbye, Piccadilly", produced by the Rank Organisation in 1967. Piccadilly Circus has since escaped major redevelopment, apart from extensive ground-level pedestrianisation around its south side in the 1980s.

Location and sights

Piccadilly Circus is surrounded by several major tourist attractions, including the Shaftesbury Memorial, Criterion Theatre, London Pavilion and several major retail stores. Numerous nightclubs and bars are located in the area and neighbouring Soho, including the former Chinawhite club.

Major shops

The former Zavvi (formerly known as Virgin Megastore) flagship store, previously owned by Tower Records was located at Number 1 Piccadilly before it went into administration. Number 1 Piccadilly is empty, the unit is located on the west side between Regent Street and Piccadilly, directly facing Piccadilly Circus. Before being Tower Records this was the location of the Swan and Edgar department store. In June 2009, it was revealed by the current leaseholders of 1 Piccadilly Circus (Standard Life Investments) that the new retail tenant for the place will be The Sting, a fashion department store popular in the Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium. They plan to open in Spring 2010.
