There are two addresses in London that the whole world knows. One is Downing Street, where the prime minister lives. The other is Buckingham Palace. This famous place, first built in 1703, is in the very centre of London. It is two places not one. It is the family house. It is also the place where presidents and kings go to meet the queen Buckingham palace is like a small town with a police station, two post offices, a hospital, two sports clubs, a disco, a cinema and a swimming pool. Two men work full time to look after the 300clocks.
When the queen gets up in the morning, seven people look after her. One starts her bath, one prepares her clothes, and one feeds the royal dogs. She has nine dogs, and they sleep in their bedroom near the queen’s bedroom. Every Tuesday evening, she meets the prime minister. They talk about world news and have a drink. When the queen invites a lot of people for dinner, it takes three days to prepare the table. When the queen finishes her food everybody finishes.
