End of Section 1 & introduction to Section 2

Dear Students,

I'm glad to let you know this is the end of section 1. This means that any new collaboration will not be included in the reading examination this term.

In section 2 we will have a different look at London. If in section 1 we looked at it historically, now we will see the different neighbourhoods/suburbs/areas and what you can find in each of them. Then we will be able to plan the different routes. Needless to say I will suggest/inform of interesting sites, but you can always find more or different places to visit. It is up to you to include them, first in the area discussed, and then in one of the routes.






Here you can see a map of London. We will divide it into 15 areas. Every area will have a map and possible sites to visit. Next to the area map, there will be another smaller one that shows the size and position of the area we are working with in relation to London as a whole.

Enjoy the planning of the trip

East End boys and West End girls?

Because in London there were two areas: the west and the east. In the west lived the rich people, like bankers, and they had big and elegant houses. And in east lived the people who suffered poverty, where disease, crime and drunkeness were common.

So in the song, eastern boys are poor and western girls are wealthy, “good-family” girls.

The Roman Mytra Temple

You can find the foundations of the Mytra Temple in Queen Victoria Street. It was uncovered by a bomb during World War II. There is not much information available, but you can check the following:
