If you walk along any street in London, you will see the famous black taxis and the red buses. You will also see the policemen in their famous uniforms, the beautiful parks and people from every country. You can even visit Chinatown, a few streets in the centre of London. Many Chinese families live there. The Chinese New Year celebrations in Chinatown are very popular in London and many English people go to watch them.
For the Millennium Year (千禧年) 2000, two new places were built in London for visitors, the London Eye and the Dome. The Dome was only open for a year, but you can still see the unusual round building now.
