Passages

Passage one welcome to London

Welcome to London! You and seven million other tourists will fill Britain's

capital city this season, jostling* each other along Oxford Street, getting

lost on the Underground, staring at Buckingham Palace, and complaining about the food and the weather.

What can you do when you're here? There are the obvious tourist attractions of royal London, the London of pageantry* and soldiers in fancy uniforms. There is historical London, with the ancient buildings and magnificent churches. A good introduction to all this can be found in the London Museum in the Barbican*. You can spend a lot of money, in shops from aristocratic* Knightsbridge* to democratic Marks and Spencer*, all of them anxious to receive travellers' cheques in almost any

currency. There are many hotels at your service, and your chambermaid

may Well be able to talk

to you in your own

language — though probably not in English, Restaurants are here by the

hundred. You can eat your way round the world in London, from China

to Argentina*, though you may have a bit of a job

finding good English food

Passage 2 entertainments in London

You come, of course, from all over the world, attracted by the comparative

cheapness of London and its relatively new reputation as a good place to

have fun — a reputation

which really only dates from the mid 1960's, that era* of Swinging

London,\

photographers and dress designers.

There's certainly no lack of entertainment. The British Theatre is world famous,

and offers

everything from Shakespeare to West End comedy*. There's a large number

of cinemas presenting films from all over the world. Every night of the

week there are concerts.

Classical or pop, take your

choice. And of course night clubs will be happy to take large quantifies of cash

from you in return for the illusion* of being sophisticated* and perhaps slightly wicked*. When it

rains (and it will rain) there are museums and art galleries to give you

shelter— and they're free!

When it's fine, take a boat trip along the River Thames, downstream to

Greenwich* or upstream to

Hampton Court*.

You may be exhausted by London; you may be cheated in London; you may not be able to get a drink when you want one, thanks to the ridiculous licensing laws; you may get wet and catch a cold; but you're not likely to be bored.
