WHAT TO DOIN
LONDON •• •
WHEN IT'S VERY COLD
Go ice skating at Somerset House. Somerset House is
a beautiful t 8th century building on the river Thames. In
the winter, the area in front of the house is made into an
ice-skating rink. There is a skating school, where you can
have lessons, and there are also late-night sessions and DJ
nights. In November and December there is an enormous
Christmas tree, and the cafe serves special Christmas food
2 WHEN IT'S RAINING
Go to South Kensington, and visit three wonderful
museums. You can walk from one to the other because
they are all very near. The Science Museum is very popular
with adults and children. and also the Natural History
Museum, which has Ufe-size rOQotic dinosaurs and other
fascinating exhibits. The third museum, the Victoria and
Albert Museum, is full of art and design from at! over the
world. It has an amazing collection of fashion from the
17th century to the present day. And if the sun comes out,
cross the road into KenSington Gardens, one of London's
many parks, and visit the famous statue of Peter Pan.
3 WHEN THE SUN IS SHINING
Go to Hampstead Heath, London's biggest park.
From the top of Parliament Hill, in the south part of the
Heath, you can see many of London's famous monuments,
including 5t Paul's Cathedral and the London Eye. Have a
picnic, and then, if it's hot, walk to the open-air swimming
pool, where you can swim with plants and trees all round
you. It is a magical place, and you can't believe that you are
in the middle of a capitaL city.
