London Underground

When I entered the underground station an astonishing breeze crashed into me like a large fan as the train left the station. The ride is bumpy and wobbly they travel as fast as cheetahs. From station to station it takes less than a minute. Tourists tranced in their I pod world. Carriages cramped and crowded, but really silent. It jerks and judders when you arrive  and  leave a station. A sea of people swarm on and off at every stop.

Big ben is huge, it is near parliament, buckingham palace (where the queen lives) and west minister abbey (where prince William and Kate Middleton got married) . In the olden days the speaker (part of parliament ) used to sleep under big ben it was his alarm clock it would have been so annoying.

The underground is as fast as a chanting cheetah. It is very fun and a great place in London. The trains go as fast as a bullet from a sniper rifle it is also very, very, dark. The wind blows into your face when the train screeches to a halt. The under ground is as full as a lions belly after lunch. The people’s music was so loud you could hear it from Australia.

Cenotaph  

At the cenotaph we had 20 seconds of remembering those who fought for us during the war.

Changing of the Guard

The changing of the guard was brill I took many pics. The guards wore a red uniform and those with a horse had a black horse. The men stood like statues.

The London Underground

The tube wobbled like jelly as we jerked and juddered. It was astonishing. We raced through the tunnel like cheetahs. Tourists tranced in their ipod worlds. The wind gently strokes your face as you step out. You are surrounded by lots of adds upon the wall. It really will blow your mind.

House of Commons

The London underground

The dark London underground the tube is like a fast racing cheetah, when your on the train it takes about 2 minutes to the next stop . I felt a bit nervous and scared to start with because   it was my first time on the tube. But then I got over those feelings .when I stood up I was wobbling around ,like jelly. The tourists were tranced in their own worlds bytheir iPod or iPod shuffles.

Parliament  Street

At the top of Parliament Street are: Big Ben, the London eye, Downing Street, Cenotaph and the houses of parliament.

Cenotaph

The cenotaph is were you remember people that fought in World War 1 and World War 2. The cenotaph is not protected by guards it is protected by people who care. Cenotaph is Greek for ‘empty tomb’.  

Changing of the Guard

Everyone wants to see the changing of the guards there are two horse guards and one guard in the middle that shouts “ MAKE WAY FOR THE GUARDS” just before the guards change with two more horse guards.

The London Underground

The tube trains are very noisy, speedy and as fast as lightning. When your on the underground tube train you will never get bored, the only thing that is boring is getting off. On your first try you might get butterflies in your tummy. On the train you sit down or hold on to a bar so you don’t fall, there are maps so you know where you are. There is a robot voice saying “Mind the gap, Mind the gap” you will never want to get off !!!

With more than 300 million visitors each year the natural history museum is one of London’s most popular attractions and it’s little wonder when you consider that it’s home to the world’s finest collection of natural history artefacts.

House of Commons

The house of commons looks smaller in person than on TV. The queen opens parliament every year. The seats were made of leather, after the war it got brought in from Beverly.

Parliament Street

Parliament Street includes big Ben, Westminster abbey, the cenotaph, houses of parliament and lots of souvenir shops.

Cenotaph

At the cenotaph we had 20 seconds of remembering those who fought for us. The word cenotaph means empty tomb.

Changing of the Guard

The changing of the guard was brilliant. The guards got close and they frightened me. The horses stood like a statue.

The London Underground

The under ground train wobbles like jelly and was as fast as a cheetah. A sea of people comes towards you. When you get out a breeze hits you. The carriage jerks and juters. The tourists, in a trance by modern technology.

Big Ben  

Big Ben was massive and surrounded by West minister Abbey, Buckingham palace and parliament. It was very well detailed and it had things on the top that I never really saw. It was a great experience. The speaker for parliament lived in the bottom of big Ben, it was his alarm clock.

Underground

  The underground was really fast and was really noisy and it wasn’t very tidy. Instead of arguing who sat down we were arguing over who stood up. It was like opposite day. The underground is as fast as lightning and left a breeze behind as it shot out the station like a bullet in a sniper rifle. The travellers were in a trance from their ipods. They were all really quiet and calm and some looked really tense and worried.  

National history museum

The national history museum is one of the biggest museums in the world. It is free to get in and more than 300 million people go every year. Inside the first thing you see is Dippy the Dinosaur ,short for Diplodocus. It is huge and it takes up a whole room. In the museum there are lots of interesting facts about dinosaurs. There is also a technical thing that shows a video about a meat eating dinosaur taking out loads of little dinosaurs while they are drinking out of a river. The meat eater just missed the little dinosaurs which was luck.                         

Parliament

In parliament it is super protective there are police men with machine guns and I thought that was cool. It is massive! The café is bigger than my house and the doors are like 6-7 feet high. There are lots of different shapes and there is a table full of water. We got a tour around parliament and we visited the House of Lords and the House of Commons. It is very superficial. We weren’t allowed to sit down in the House of Lords or Commons either and we saw the Queens parliament throne.

Parliament Street

On parliament street there is the amazing Big Ben, Whitehall, West minister abbey,

 Downing Street the house of parliament. The London eye and the souvenir shop.    

Cenotaph

The cenotaph has union flags on. It is to remember all the people that fight and die in the war. Everybody who goes there spends a lot of time to remember and forgive. The cenotaph actually stands for empty tomb.

Changing of the Guard

The changing of the guard happens every hour, on the changing of the guard there are two horses and three men. The middle man when he walks he chants some sort of fierce chant. Two men are sat on horses and the other man had ridiculously weird boots.   

 The London Underground

The underground is really noisy. Once the train starts it takes about two minutes to get to the next stop. Everybody on the train is in some sort of ipod trance. When the cheetah like speed train stops it waits two seconds then it jerks and judders. On the way out of the underground you might feel sick because of the pressure changing the atmosphere; also the walls are squished and crammed with cinema ads.
