    ABOUT LONDON
  • 0:10 - 0:14
    If you want to go to London, maybe for the Olympic Games, don't miss a ride in a traditional bus.
  • 0:14 - 0:24
    Should you never have been at the Buckingham Palace and its surrounding,
  • 0:24 - 0:25
    you certainly have to do that on your trip.
  • 0:25 - 0:32
    If you're lucky, you can assist the changing of the guard which is the process of involving the new guard
  • 0:32 - 0:38
    exchange duty with the old guard or just watch
  • 0:38 - 0:47
    the Household cavalry with carriages as they pass by.
  • 0:47 - 0:51
    If it hand't been for the rain, we wouldn't have needed an umbrella
  • 0:51 - 1:01
    If you are interested in Swiss clocks,
  • 1:01 - 1:02
    you should go to see them on the Swiss Court.
  • 1:02 - 1:11
    Should you have become hungry from the sightseeing, go the the many very good Asien restaurants.
  • 1:11 - 1:28
    The famous murder myestery play "The Mousetrap" wouldn't have been going on since 1952 if Agatha Christie had not written it.
  • 1:28 - 1:31
    If there were only highways in London,
  • 1:31 - 1:36
    it wouldn't be so nice.
  • 1:36 - 1:42
    If you want to attend a musical or just listen to music,
  • 1:42 - 1:46
    you should go to Covent Garden.
  • 1:46 - 1:54
    If there was more space, architects would maybe not build
  • 1:54 - 2:00
    the highest skyscraper worldwide in London.
  • 2:00 - 2:08
    If the British Museum wasn't so interesting,
  • 2:08 - 2:10
    I wouldn't go there anymore. It's not just
  • 2:10 - 2:13
    about Egyptian art or culture but it also shows
  • 2:13 - 2:20
    the history of art through 100 objects and it's free.
  • 2:20 - 2:28
    If England and Lord Nelson hadn't won the Battle of Trafalgar
  • 2:28 - 2:37
    in 1805 against France, there would be no Trafalgar Square.
  • 2:37 - 2:48
    If Piccadilly Circus was not a famous junction and public space of London,
  • 2:48 - 2:50
    with major shopping streets,
  • 2:50 - 2:55
    people would not visit it so frequently.
  • 2:55 - 3:03
    In Saint Jaime's Park you could relax a little bit, should you have become tired
  • 3:03 - 3:10
    and should you feel like going onto the big wheel, just do it!
  • 3:10 - 3:15
    If there hand't been a big fire in 1666
  • 3:15 - 3:21
    which destroyed about 80'000 homes of the city's inhabitants,
  • 3:21 - 3:27
    Charles II's Palace of Whitehall wouldn't have been threatened
  • 3:27 - 3:35
    and also if the Tower of London garrison had not used gunpowder to create
  • 3:35 - 3:39
    effective firebreaks to stop further spread eastward,
  • 3:39 -
    who knows what would have happened to London.
