A century later, on the orders of King James here was planted mulberry garden for the production of silk, but this venture ended in failure, and the land passed into the possession of the family of Sheffield.
In 1703, politician and poet John Sheffield, the first Duke of Buckingham, built a huge country house. It was only in 1751 George III bought it for his wife Charlotte. Since then, it was called the House of Queen Charlotte and George 14 children.
Next stop Tower.
The Tower was a royal palace long ago. Then it became a prison. Kings, queens and noblemen were locked up here. Many, like Lady Jane Grey, lost their heads on Tower Green inside the walls or nearby on Tower Hill. The last time it was used as a prison was during the Second World War when German spies were kept and sometimes shot there.
And then, leaving the castle, crossed to the other side of the Thames at Tower Bridge unforgettable. In the sunshine, interspersed with clouds is a miracle of engineering and design art was stunningly beautiful. . .
No less interesting are themselves the London streets and squares. Strolling through the city, you can see various historical buildings and even witness the unusual ceremony of the royal guard. London looks really amazing, because of its appearance worked for centuries famous architects and designers.
