Прочитайте текст и скажите, что такое Вестминстер, и какие достопримечательности там находятся.

Темза протекает за зданием парламента, а мост через Темзу в этом
месте называется Вестминстерским мостом.

По другую сторону площади Парламента находится Вестминстерское
Аббатство. Это одна из самых знаменитых и красивых церквей в
Лондоне. Она является также и очень старой. Ей более 900 лет. В ней
имеется также большое количество монументов и статуй. Многие
английские короли и королевы похоронены там. Вестминстерское
Аббатство известно также своим Уголком поэтов. Многие великие
писатели похоронены здесь, например, Чарльз Диккенс и Радьярд
Киплинг. Аббатство с его двумя высокими башнями является поистине чудесным.

Королева Англии живет в Букингемском дворце. Это чудесное здание с памятником перед ним, который является мемориалом Королевы Виктории.

Людям требуется 10 или 20 минут, чтобы дойти пешком от Букингемского дворца до Трафальгарской площади, центра Лондона. В
Лондоне имеется так много других достопримечательностей, но вы
не сможете их осмотреть во время одной короткой поездки.

Parliament Square and the Houses of Parliament are very famous places of
interest. Big Ben is the name of the clock and the bell of the clock tower
of the Houses of Parliament and it is very famous. I think it would be very
interesting to see Westminster Bridge. Westminster Abbey is a very old
and beautiful building. It is a place of interest. Buckingham Palace and the
Queen Victoria Memorial are places of interest. The British Prime Minis-
ter lives at number 10 Downing Street. It is a place of interest, too.
