ST PAULS CATHEDRAL

St Pauls cathedral is a famous landmark

It is possible to climb right to the top, from where you can see the

whole of London

When Charles dickens was alive, the air was so polluted that the

dome of St Pauls was black!

It took 48 hours to clean one square meter of the floor when the

whole thing was cleaned. The whole cleaning process took 12 years

SHAKESPEARE’S GLOBE

It was built in 1599 by Shakespeare’s playing company

the globe burnt down when some actors fired a cannon at a rafter.

The globe is made entirely of wood and plaster, which is why it

burnt down so easily

THE SHARD

The shard is 306 meters high

It is the tallest building in the European union

It is also the tallest completed building in Europe

MR BEAN

Mr Bean is the most beloved TV character in the UK

He is known to be a very dumb character

He also has a little teddy bear called Teddy

And he never speaks, only makes incoherent noises

THE UNION JACK

Scotland, England, Ireland, wales

All joined up like monkeys’ tails

!Adios!

Au revoir!

Goodbye!
