London
There are a lot of historical events that have shaped London into the worldly city it is today. The talents of William Shakespeare transformed its culture.

It has been many other transformations and is now the official place where the crown jewels are kept.

Another place that is sure to get you going is something called the London Eye. Sometimes called the Millennium Wheel, it resembles a ferris wheel but is actually called an observation wheel.
