Westminster

The district of Westminster which means "le monastère ouest" in french is located in central London. If it is famous for its huge and antique abbey, this area is also known as the seat of the British Government.

Let's begin the visit with Buckingham Palace !

Buckingham Palace is the official residence of the British Monarch. Built for the Duke of Buckingham in 1703, it was subsequently acquired by George VII in 1761 for his wife. Finally, in 1837 it became the palace of the British Monarch on Queen Victoria's accession to the throne (Queen Victoria whose statue is erected in front of the main gate of the palace). Unfortunatly, the ceremonial rooms of the palace can only be visited from July to September, so we probably won't see them.

Then, we should visit the British parliament that is the supreme legislative body in the United Kingdom and British overseas territories, which is composed of two houses : the house of Lords and the house of Commons. These two houses sit in the same place : the Houses of Parliament in Westminster also known also Palace of Westminster is finally as famous for his political function as for his clock tower. The Parliament is open to United Kingdoms residents but also to overseas visitors. Actually, you can attend debates, watch judicial hearings.

In, this street, there is the very famous toy's shop : Hamleys. There are more than 1800 different toys on 7 levels. For example, the 1st floor is reserved for the board games and the sweet shop. What's more, the 3rd floor is only for the girl toys while the 5st floor is for the boys toys. Then, we will go to Covent garden where cars are prohibited so it's the perfect place for eating or doing shopping.

To conclude, we can visit the Dominion theatre where we can attend musicals like the famous We Will Rock You with the music of Queen.
