Thirty-ninth (39th) Lesson
from Curso de Inglês britânico
London London is larger than Paris but smaller than New York. There are more than eight million inhabitants in Greater London, more than the populations of Scotland and Wales together. Inner London is smaller. Here you find the "West End" with its theatres and the City, which is the financial centre of England. It is also the oldest part of London and still has some ancient traditions. For example, the Lord Mayor of London is mayor of the City only. The most important part of the City is the Stock Exchange which is as important as the Bourse in Paris. In almost every street, there is a beautiful church, often designed by Wren. Among the places of interest to see are Trafalgar Square, with its colony of pigeons and four bronze lions; and the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. In fact, it is the bell and not the clock which is called Big Ben.
