The monument in the centre of Parliament Avenue is striking. On the one hand, it divides the road here, and more importantly, it's a must to go to No. 10 Downing Street to see what's going on outside the Prime Minister's residence. Today, the monument can still see people laying wreaths below, and the European Union and British flags under the monument on the side of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

    In the middle of Whitehall Road in London, there is a very delicate monument, which says: This monument is in memory of the people who died in the Second World War and in the service of this country since 1918. Under the monument lay wreaths laid by the citizens. Looking at this monument, people have to respect these victims.

    There are many statues in the square in front of the palace. In the center stands the gold-plated monument of Queen Victoria, surrounded by four groups of stone sculptures. On the top stands the winged goddess of victory, representing the hope of the royal family to create Victorian glory again.

    Voltaire: "Walking into Westminster Abbey, the people are not looking up at the mausoleums of the kings, but at the monuments of the nation to the greatest men who have graced it. This is the respect of the British people for their talents."

    Follow Deng by subway, no longer need to look east and west, happy to let the brain rest. This time I came to the main entrance of the British Museum. If it weren't for another visit, I didn't know what the main entrance was. Although Deng told his classmates that he had been to the Chinese Pavilion, Egypt Pavilion and Greece Pavilion, he didn't say anything, and took us into the Pavilion 17. When he went in, a Greek temple was there. The just right lighting made the temple like a long time ago, sacred, mysterious, and shocking. "Wow, great! Is it Greek?" Deng said, referring to the Nereides monument, also known as the "Sea Fairy Monument", originally in Sansos, southwest Turkey. The Nereides monument is a tombstone, that is, a tomb. Built in the 4th century AD, it was later destroyed by an earthquake, and by 1840 the British dug it out and shipped back to England.

    Reluctantly pulled out the eyeballs from the temple and came to the opposite Pavilion 18. It was suddenly open. The spacious hall was filled with many ancient Greek sculptures. The long marble booth was placed with a combination of character sculptures. The wall was set with pieces of sculpture. Whatever shape it is displayed, complete or incomplete is a top-notch exhibit, a group of three women sculptures, three daughters of the sea goddess, echoing the three goddesses on the Nereids monument. Looking at the strong and beautiful bodies of the goddesses, the thin dresses wrapped in the plump and elastic flesh, I felt as if they had just risen from the sea to the beach to play, and were covered with silk skirts soaked by the sea, and the curves were exposed. They must be singing with each other.
