London

pavement Following the Thames I arrive at the embankment And the view

takes my breath away, although I see it every day This place I call my home, this city that invites the world to stay. Tea with the Queen, winning gold in the park Stand up in the Houses of Parliament, and get back in time for the changing of the guard Re-live the history through the winding cobbled streets Or get on down, go underground, ride the tube to the places you've always wanted to see.


Camden, knightsbridge, double decker buses oxford street to tower bridge to picadilly circus portabello market,bound to get a bargain head to brick lane if your feeling
'hank marvin' There no where else quite like it you'll be welcomed with opened arms in a land of gals and geezers you;ll be sucked in by its charms have a pint in the local boozer because there is still so much to do see a show, hit the shops, 'cause London never stops and she's waiting, she's waiting for you This is my city, and my city's waiting for you This is my city, and my city's waiting for you

SONG ABOUT LONDON

Newcastle – Ездить в Тулу со своим самоваром.
So many countries, so many customs –Сколько стран, столько и обычаев.
When at Rome, do as Romans do

–
В чужой монастырь со своим уставом не ходят.
Travel broadens the minds – Путешествия расширяют кругозор.
