In England, all the children have to wear a uniform for going to school. They an have different colours. As you can see, the schools are somehow built rectangular. Unlike us the English students have really small and light bag and normally finish very early!!!

BIG BEN

Big Ben is the nickname for the great bell of the clock at the north-eastern end of the Palace of Westminster in London. The nickname is often also used to refer to the clock and the clock tower.
This is the world's largest, four-faced, chiming clock and the third largest, free-standing clock tower in the world. The clock is famous for its reliability. The idiom of putting a penny on, with the meaning of slowing down, sprang from the method of fine-tuning the clock's pendulum. On top of the pendulum is a small stack of old penny coins; these are to adjust the time of the clock.

The nickname Big Ben is the subject of some debate. The nickname was applied first to the Great Bell; it may have been named after Sir Benjamin Hall, who oversaw the installation of the Great Bell, or after boxing's English Heavyweight Champion Benjamin Caunt. Now Big Ben is used to refer to the clock, the tower and the bell collectively, although the nickname is not universally accepted as referring to the clock and tower.

It celebrates its 150th birthday in 2009, during which celebratory events are planned!
The nearest London Underground station is Westminster.

HARRODS

Harrods was established in 1834 in London's East End, when founder Charles Henry Harrod set up a wholesale grocery in Stepney, with a special interest in tea. In 1849, Harrod took over a small shop in the district of Knightsbridge, on the site of the current store. Beginning in a single room employing two assistants and a messenger boy, Harrod?s son Charles Digby Harrod built the business into a thriving retail operation selling medicines, perfumes, stationery, fruit, and vegetables. Harrods rapidly expanded, acquired the adjoining buildings, and employed one hundred people by 1880.
Harrods was the holder of royal warrants which is a mark of quality, excellence and recognition. They used to be from:
*Queen Elizabeth II for Provisions and Household Good
*The Duke of Edinburgh as Outfitters
*The Prince of Wales as Outfitters and Saddlers
*The Queen Mother, for China and Glass.
