A corlouful city, isn't it?
One reason why there are so many people from different countries in London is this: In 1948, Britain gave all people from former British colonies the right to have British citizenship. But when they moved to London, there was a lot of racism and discrimination against them. This is why often people from one ethnic group are concentrated in one borough: to protect themselves against discrimination and to help each other.

...or rather at the people standing in front of it. :)

The “Queen’s guards“ are responsible for guarding Buckingham Palace and are known to stay straight-faced all day. They usually don’t smile or laugh to show their seriousness. This is why a lot of tourists love provoking them by trying everything from singing, to dancing to telling jokes.

How would you try to make them laugh?

Comment below!

PS: Don't take this too seriously...these guards are in active service to the Queen and must carry themselves with the upmost discipline!
