I was very impressed of that town and the following picture is one of my favourite pictures that I´ve took there because, in my opinion, there is a great landscape.  Here you can see one of Cambridge´s buildings. This one has a great arhitecture and is a real piece of art. This place gave me a lot of pozitive feelings and I can say that when I gave with the boat and when I saw those beautiful landscapes I felt like in paradise. I would go back there with any other ocassion. -Mune ]]> 2016-06-02 12:29:15 UTC https://padlet.com/cnog/MyLondon/wish/113462074 https://padlet.com/cnog/MyLondon/wish/113483628 A smile can represent a thousand feeling, but a smile in London can represent more than that.
I chose this photo because, despite it’s a pic with me that I like very much, it presents an important sight from London that brings to my mind a lot of nice memories. Big Ben seems to touch the sky, so the Paradise could be closer to London…or even there. 
Sadly, I can’t be again in London for a while, but I left my soul there, so when I will come back I would feel like I lived there all my life.
 ”It is not the walls that make the city, but the people who live within them. The walls of London may be battered, but the spirit of the Londoner stands resolute and undismayed.” -George VI]]> 2016-06-02 14:50:12 UTC https://padlet.com/cnog/MyLondon/wish/113483628 https://padlet.com/cnog/MyLondon/wish/113487324  Not many people would pick a botanical garden as a must see when visiting London, but The Royal Botanical Gardens are just special.
 I would love to go there for a few hours because it looks so peaceful and relaxing. It has an impressive architecture as well. Some of the buildings are spectacular! I could go there and not even notice the plants because of the breathtakingly beautiful buildings. I think I would definitely spend a lot of time on the suspended walkways shown below. The Kew Gardens's goal is to be the world's leading botanical garden, and to be the global resource in plant and fungal knowledge, so I would clearly learn something new about hundreds of thousands of species.
 Overall even though it's not as well known as other sights in London, I would really like to visit it.

It was founded by wax sculptor Marie Tussaud. Tussaud created her first wax sculpture, of Voltaire, in 1777. Other famous people she modelled at that time include Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Benjamin Franklin.The most intersting sight for me in London it's Madame Tussauds where I can see my idols live . Probably I never meet them face to face so that this museum offer the posibility to see them live.
  It's amazing for me to take picture with different VIP's even if they are just wax copies. The wanted picture is with Zac Efron because is my favourite actor. I would love go there. - Csilla]]> 2016-06-02 16:07:10 UTC https://padlet.com/cnog/MyLondon/wish/113496575 https://padlet.com/cnog/MyLondon/wish/113497382    I took this picture while we were walking towards the museum. I think this picture is very beautiful because in this picture we can see a bit of the Trafalgar Square and in the background we can see The National Gallery museum.
   I would like to travel again in London to see all of the paintings because i didn't see all of them. I saw many paintings that made my mind travel through time, in the history and even back in our days, but only one caught my attention, a painting with a horse. When i first saw that painting from distance i thought that it was a stuffed horse but when i came closer i saw that it was just a painting. I think that many people consider other sights to be more important or more popular, but in my opinion this is one of the most important sight in London. I was really amazed and i want to go back in London to see all the paintings and also to discover more about it's history and mystery. - Suciu Adrian]]> 2016-06-02 16:11:18 UTC https://padlet.com/cnog/MyLondon/wish/113497382 https://padlet.com/cnog/MyLondon/wish/113499422 A very important symbol for London which is known worldwide is London Eye. 
I'm a fan of heights so I think this sight would be my favorite. It is an wonderful experience to climb on top of it and see London from a great 360 degree view and many kilometers away. Even from the sidewalk it is a delight to the eyes because of it's structure. However, I don't think anyone should miss the great lights show in the night.
I am sure this sight will be the first one I'm going to visit when I will be in London.

In London I visited a sight that amazed me very much. This is the picture of me and an imposant building :Westminster Abbey,a gothic church. It is one of the most notable religious buildings in the United Kingdom which has been the traditional place of coronation and burial site for English and, later, British monarchs. The Abbey contains some of the most glorious medieval architecture in London. I have never  seen such a beautiful piece of art like Westminster Abbey  in my life and it makes me  proud of  the talented people that create it. I hope that i will have the opportunity tu see London again. -Denisa

In the background, it can be seen the  the Big Ben and the Westminster Abbey . The Big Ben it's an iconic symbol of the British capital and it is the nickname of the Greate Bell of the clock at the north, at the end of the Palace of Westminster which is commonly known as the Houses of Parliment. I was very impressed by the great view which attracts many people by their majestic height and very beautiful architecture. A wonderful view was also offered while I was sailing along the Thames River and where I could see all the sights that were alongside the river. My holiday in this wonderful capital was joyful and unforgettable! :)

One of the things about Windsor that amazes me is how large it is. This castle is the home of Queen Elizabeth II. I saw a lot of beautiful alleys, which were surrounded by beautiful red flowers. The whole tour took 2 hours. The lovely place emphasises the royality of the Country. The place made us feel like we were in another world, full of culture and history. Listening to the informations given by the audio guide,I travelled through the London history, which impressed me. 
I really want to see this sight again, and I also  want to see London again. -Oana]]> 2016-06-03 05:26:35 UTC https://padlet.com/cnog/MyLondon/wish/113563100 https://padlet.com/cnog/MyLondon/wish/113701830 I took this photo while we were in the Windsor Castle. In my opinion , the Windsor Castle was the most interesting sight which we visited. The most important feature is the size of him. In the picture from below is just a little part of the entire castle and the inner courtyard.The luxury of the rooms and the size of them were the features that impressed me. Each room had its own thema and its unique design. All the furniture and every single object was done manually with some details that maybe ,in our days with all the technology that we have,woult be impossible to duplicate. Another  fact that impressed me was the number of collections from there, each one including thousands of pieces.The most intresting collecton was the weapon collection. If i were to go in London again,i would dinitely go to the Windsor Castle.        Ionut]]> 2016-06-05 12:33:52 UTC https://padlet.com/cnog/MyLondon/wish/113701830 https://padlet.com/cnog/MyLondon/wish/113739161 this park is one of the biggest and greatest park in the world. Just imagine 142 hectares of ''green''. There is also a lake, with such a clean water and some gorgeus swans to make the place better. For me, this place means a lot because it got such a huge field where you can play anything you want, or just to sit down and relax. This means so much to me because i like sports a lot. You can go in there with no friends at all because there surely is somebody happy to play with you. The feel of seeing such a huge field in a sunny day, where even the squirrels are playing with eachother it just melts me.

I tried to make this picture look as artistic as possible. Here you can see one of the most beautiful fountain I have ever seen and The National Gallery museum in the background. Let's talk a little about the paintings in the interior of the museum. They are fascinating, some of them are even life-size. Unfortunately, the time we stayed there was not enough for me to see all of the paintings inside. My favorite painting is The Fighting Temeraire by Joseph Mallord William Turner, illustrating a fight on the sea. I would go back there any time, it is worth seeing! - Darius Raulea ]]> 2016-06-06 14:20:43 UTC https://padlet.com/cnog/MyLondon/wish/113801629 https://padlet.com/cnog/MyLondon/wish/114113796 This picture is very important to me because: 1. It was taken at one one of the best places I have ever visited which is the Madame Tussauds museum and 2. I got the chance to take a picture with one of my favorite comic book characters and my childhood hero Captain America. The trip to London was a dream that came true for me and this picture represents the highlight of this entire experience because that day was not only one of the best days on the trip, but also one of the best day of my life so far. -Sonia]]> 2016-06-08 17:07:36 UTC https://padlet.com/cnog/MyLondon/wish/114113796 https://padlet.com/cnog/MyLondon/wish/114241328 During my trip to London, I was lucky enough to have the chance to visit one of the most special and interesting museums, Madame Tussauds which contains a fabulous art galery formed by a lot of wax figurines. I was very so happy to see some of my favourite celebrities near me. This picture of me and Cara Delevigne, a famous model working for Victoria's Secret, is the best memory from that awesome trip because I felt so proud of me walking on the catwalk with one of the models I appreciate the most. That was an amazing experience even if Cara wasn't real and I hope I will visit other Madame Tussauds Museums from other countries. -Ariana ]]> 2016-06-09 16:59:16 UTC https://padlet.com/cnog/MyLondon/wish/114241328 ally_osrry_10 https://padlet.com/cnog/MyLondon/wish/142693943   The British Museum is dedicated to human history, art and culture, and is located in the Bloomsbury area of London. Its permanent collection, numbering some 8 million works, is among the largest and most comprehensive in existence and originates from all continents, illustrating and documenting the story of human culture from its beginnings to the present.
  I am passionate about the history of antiques and exhibits, and I would like to see them in reality. In The British Museum are exposed a lot of valuables like: Crystal skull, Rosetta Stone, a fragment of the Column of Trajan, the Bust of Julius Caesar and others famous. I read about them, I was impressed and I really wish I can see them face to face. -Alisa P.]]> 2016-12-08 21:58:24 UTC https://padlet.com/cnog/MyLondon/wish/142693943
