A place I will never forget

London is a place that I will never forget. Anyone who visited the capital city would know The Big Ben, London’s Eye and the ferry trip that I took was most fantastic. I saw the entire London as London’s eye revolved slowed and peacefully. I admired the structure of the Big Ben. The sound of the clock as it struck twelve was magnificent as it echoed throughout London to let the people know the time. I also went to parks and saw a string orchestra performing Scottish tunes, it was very beautiful, as the music juxtaposed with the lovely sceneries in the park. How can anyone forget such memorable scenes? How can anyone forget such an unforgettable place?
