WESTMINSTER ABBEY
Opposite the Houses of Parliament stands Westminster Abbey. It is a fine Gothic building, famous for its architecture and historical associations. The Abbey contains the tombs and memorials of many famous English scientists such as Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin and others. It has its Poet's Corner, where many writers are buried, among them Geoffrey Chaucer, Charles Dickens, Alfred Tennyson, Thomas Hardy and Redyard Kipling. Here there are also memorials to William Shakespeare, John Milton, Robert Burns, George Byron, Walter Scott and other well-known English writers and poets.
Here in the Abbey there is the Grave of the Unknown Soldier who represents all those fallen in the First World War. It is a symbol of the nation's grief. The inscription on the tomb reads, 'Beneath this stone rests the body of a British warrior unknown by name or rank brought from France to lie among the most illustrious of the land.'
Westminster Abbey is not just a historic monument. It is a church which continues the tradition begun more than nine centuries earlier. It is a house of prayer where the usual services of the Church are conducted from day to day. There are special services which are held in the Abbey. These include a service on the day of independence of each Commonwealth monwealth Day is marked by a special service usually attended by the Queen herself.
Annually the Royal Air Force is remembered in a service to mark the Battle of Britain; nurses commemorate Florence Nightingale; Guides and Scouts have a special Thinking Day Service. The most moving is the service conducted on December 28, the anniversary of the Abbey's consecration, which has the most beautiful carol services.

THE TOWER OF LONDON
The Tower of London is the oldest palace, fortress and prison in Europe. The great fortress was created by William the Conqueror nearly 900 years ago. The site was well chosen, the fortress commanded the river approaches to the city and it protected the king and government from the citizens of London.
The Tower of London is roughly square in shape with two lines of defensive walls enclosing the tower which for centuries has been known as the White Tower. The outer wall is defended by six towers on the river face and by two semi-circular bastions at the north-east and north-west. Over the centuries the Tower has served many purposes. It has been a citadel, a royal palace, a prison for dangerous offenders against the state.
The Tower is entered at the foot of Tower Hill, one of the most well-known towers is the Lion Tower. In this semicircular tower the royal menagerie was housed. In 1834 the menagerie was sent to Regent's Park where it formed the present London Zoo. The tower was then demolished.
There have always been ravens at the Tower and some are-still there. These large birds traditionally associated with ill-omen live on raw meat and offal, but their favorite food is raw eggs. They are unfriendly and it is unwise to touch or feed them. There are six birds. Their wings are clipped so that they cannot fly away.
Every night at exactly seven minutes to 10 o'clock the oldest and most colorful ceremony takes place for the last 700 years in the same form as it is seen today.
