London of that time was an agglomeration of wooden
houses and chaotic narrow streets.
Слайд 9The Great Fire of London, 1666
In the summer of 1666
the fire, later called “the Great Fire of London” began.
It was a hot and windy day, so the fire quickly spread about the city.

Слайд 13Saint Paul’s Cathedral
but his masterpiece and the deed of his
life was, certainly, St. Paul’s cathedral.
Слайд 14The architecture of the Cathedral is a mixture of styles.
The Renaissance Domes of the Cathedral dominate the gothic Roman
Cross. It was the embodiment of a truly Anglican spirit.

Sir Christopher Wren presented several plans of the
Cathedral restoration, but finally the project, basing on the design
of St. Peter’s Cathedral in Rome was realized.

London because the height of the gallery is 85 meters.
It is worth climbing.
Слайд 49Saint Paul’s Cathedral Bell “Great Paul”

Memorial Chapel. Great Britain and the USSR, as you remember, were allied countries in the fight against the Nazi.
Слайд 60South Atlantic Group Warriors Memorial
The pain of the Motherland mourning
her fallen sons is the same in any country.
Слайд 61Graves of famous people of England
