景点名称
`
:
Big ben
大本钟
特色介绍:
The main introduction
Big Ben is the colloquial name of the
Clock Tower of the Palace of Westminster in London
and
an informal name for the Great Bell
of Westminster, part of the Great Clock of
Westminster. The clock tower
is
located
at
the
northwestern
end
of
the
building,
the home
of
the
Houses
of Parliament,
and
contains
the
famous striking clock and bell. The new
Parliament was built in a Neo-gothic style.
Although Barry was the
chief architect
of the Palace, he turned to Augustus Plugin for
the design of the clock tower, which resembles
earlier Plugin designs, including one
for Scarisbrick Hall. The design for the Clock
Tower was
Plugin’s
last
design before his final descent into
madness and death, and Plugin himself wrote, at
the time of Barry's last
visit to him
to collect the drawings:
the
designs
for
finishing
his
bell
tower
&
it
is
beautiful.
The
tower
is
designed
in
Plugin’s
celebrated
Gothic Revival
style, and is 96.3 meters (315.9 ft.)
high.

景点名称:
Hyde
Park
海德公园
特色介绍:
The main introduction
There is something for everyone in Hyde
Park. With over 4,000 trees, a lake, a meadow,
horse rides and more it is easy to
forget you're in the middle of London.
About the Park When
King Henry VIII and his court were
thundering across Hyde Park in 1536 in pursuit of
deer and
wild boar, it would have been
difficult to visualize that years later the noble
art of tai chi would
be
peacefully
performed
among
the
trees
in
the
early
morning,
and
the
Italianate
tenor
of
Pavarotti would echo
across the park, applauded by vast
audiences.
海德公园位于英国英格兰伦敦西敏

寺附近,占地
360
多英亩,原属威斯敏斯

大英博物馆
特色介绍
:
The main
introduction
The
British
Museum
was
established
in
1753,
largely
based
on
the
collections
of
the
physician and scientist
Sir Hans Sloane. The museum first opened to the
public on 15 January
1759
in
Montagu
House
in
Bloomsbury,
on
the
site
of
the
current
museum
building.
Its
expansion
over
the
following
two
and
a
half
centuries
has
resulted
in
the
creation
of
several
branch institutions,
the first being the British Museum (Natural
History) in South Kensington in
1887.
Until 1997, when the British Library opened to the
public, the British Museum was unique
in
that
it
housed
both
a
national
museum
of
antiquities
and
a
national
library
in
the
same
building.
Its
present
chairman
is
Sir
John
Boyd
and
its
director
is
Neil
Macgregor’s
with
all
other
national
museums
and
art
galleries
in
Britain,
the
Museum
charges
no
admission
fee,
although charges are levied for some
temporary special
exhibitions.
