1. Visitors with plenty of money to spend and who
come chiefly for enjoyment are likely to pass most of their
time at the West End. Those who to learn London's history will find much to interest them in the City. Here most of the streets are narrow, and traffic is often very slow. Many of these narrow streets run down to the Thames, and at the end of it many warehouses can be seen.
The City is concerned about finance, but it is also a market for goods of almost every kind, from all parts of the world. The Port of London is to the east of the City. Here
today, are miles and miles of docks, and the great industrial
areas that depend on shipping. This is the East End of London, unattractive in appearance, but very important for the country's commerce. Ships of 6,000 tons car: come as far as
London Bridge, below which is the part of the river called the Pool.
They can pass under Tower Bridge. It takes only five minutes to raise the two halves of the roadway to allow a ship to pass.
