ABOUT LONDON

2
00:00:10,024 --> 00:00:14,441
If you want to go to London, maybe for the Olympic Games, don't miss a ride in a traditional bus.

3
00:00:14,441 --> 00:00:23,707
Should you never have been at the Buckingham Palace and its surrounding,

4
00:00:23,707 --> 00:00:25,373
you certainly have to do that on your trip.

5
00:00:25,373 --> 00:00:31,974
If you're lucky, you can assist the changing of the guard which is the process of involving the new guard

6
00:00:31,974 --> 00:00:38,392
exchange duty with the old guard or just watch

7
00:00:38,392 --> 00:00:47,106
the Household cavalry with carriages as they pass by.

8
00:00:47,106 --> 00:00:51,445
If it hand't been for the rain, we wouldn't have needed an umbrella

9
00:00:51,445 --> 00:01:00,540
If you are interested in Swiss clocks,

10
00:01:00,540 --> 00:01:01,700
you should go to see them on the Swiss Court.

11
00:01:01,700 --> 00:01:11,025
Should you have become hungry from the sightseeing, go the the many very good Asien restaurants.

12
00:01:11,025 --> 00:01:27,740
The famous murder myestery play "The Mousetrap" wouldn't have been going on since 1952 if Agatha Christie had not written it.

13
00:01:27,740 --> 00:01:31,491
If there were only highways in London,

14
00:01:31,491 --> 00:01:36,106
it wouldn't be so nice.

15
00:01:36,106 --> 00:01:42,240
If you want to attend a musical or just listen to music,

16
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,406
you should go to Covent Garden.

17
00:01:46,406 --> 00:01:54,390
If there was more space, architects would maybe not build

18
00:01:54,390 --> 00:01:59,507
the highest skyscraper worldwide in London.

19
00:01:59,507 --> 00:02:08,174
If the British Museum wasn't so interesting,

20
00:02:08,174 --> 00:02:10,291
I wouldn't go there anymore. It's not just

21
00:02:10,291 --> 00:02:13,074
about Egyptian art or culture but it also shows

22
00:02:13,074 --> 00:02:19,924
the history of art through 100 objects and it's free.

23
00:02:19,924 --> 00:02:27,606
If England and Lord Nelson hadn't won the Battle of Trafalgar

24
00:02:27,606 --> 00:02:36,674
in 1805 against France, there would be no Trafalgar Square.

25
00:02:36,674 --> 00:02:48,041
If Piccadilly Circus was not a famous junction and public space of London,

26
00:02:48,041 --> 00:02:50,491
with major shopping streets,

27
00:02:50,491 --> 00:02:54,857
people would not visit it so frequently.

28
00:02:54,857 --> 00:03:02,707
In Saint Jaime's Park you could relax a little bit, should you have become tired

29
00:03:02,707 --> 00:03:10,440
and should you feel like going onto the big wheel, just do it!

30
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:15,008
If there hand't been a big fire in 1666

31
00:03:15,008 --> 00:03:21,124
which destroyed about 80'000 homes of the city's inhabitants,

32
00:03:21,124 --> 00:03:26,724
Charles II's Palace of Whitehall wouldn't have been threatened

33
00:03:26,724 --> 00:03:35,224
and also if the Tower of London garrison had not used gunpowder to create

34
00:03:35,224 --> 00:03:38,707
effective firebreaks to stop further spread eastward,

35
00:03:38,707 --> 99:59:59,999
who knows what would have happened to London.
