London is the capital of England and is one of the most famous cities in Europe. It has many fantastic sights, such as Big Ben and London Bridge. Besides, there are more than 170 museums there.
I was only in London for one gray day, so I was in a hurry. My tour started at a building known as the Cheese Grater. It's a new building and was completed in 2010. It has a height of 225 m、We took the lift right to the top. It is the fastest lift in Europe. It took just 30 seconds to go all the way up to the 45th floor.
Next, we walked just a few blocks to The Gherkin. It really does look like a cucumber of a different size! It's 180 m tall and has 41 floors. It was built in 2003.
Our next stop was Tower Bridge. It was built from 1886 to 1894 and looks old. It has a height of 54 m, and a length of 244 m. We walked on it to cross the river to get to our next destination:The Shard.
The Shard is the tallest building in the United Kingdom. It was opened in 2009. It cost 435million pounds to build. It's just under 310 m tall and has 96 floors. There is a place where you can look at the view on the 72nd floor.
St. Paul's Cathedral is on the other side of the river. It was started in 1256! It has survived several wars. It is 158 m long and 111 m tall. It is old and really beautiful. Unfortunately, the rainy weather put a sudden end to our tour.
