The political centre of London is Westminster.Whitehall is the street where many of the British government offices stand. The street is called Whitehall because long ago a big white palace.or hall stood in this street where kings and their families lived. Only the old Banqueting House remains today. It is one of London's most beautiful buildings. In the middle of the street is the Cenotaph, a monument to the fallen in two world wars.
A little street on the west side of Whitehall is Downing street. House 10 is the place where the Prime Minister lives. Whitehall leads to Parliament Square where the Houses of Parliament are situated. The official name of the building is the Palace of Westminster. The Houses of Parliament in London is the place where members of Parliament gather together to make laws. There are two Towers in the Palace. of Westminster: the Victoria Tower and the Clock Tbwer. The English people built the tower and the clock in 1853. The clock has four faces and a very big loud bell. The clock and the bell got their names after Sir Benjamin Hal1. He was a tall man whose nickname was Big Ben.
On the other side of Parliament Square is Westminster Abbey. It is the chief church of England, so wedding of royalty and other great ceremonials take place there. The Abbey is also a museum of monunents and statues to the great men (and a few women) of the past. Westminster Abbey is famous for the Poet's corner too. Many great writers and poets are buried there, among them Dickens, Hardy, Milton, Burns, Shakespeare.
In Westminster Abbey there is the oak Coronation Chair with a large stone. The Coronation Chair has an interesting history. Many hundreds of years ago this stone was the seat on which the kings of Scotland sat when they were crowned. When Scotland became part of Britain, the English king brought this stone to London. A large chair was made and the Stone of Destiny was put into the seat of the chair. Since that time every English and later British monarch sits on that chair when they are crowned. For coronation the chair is placed in front of the high altar.
