Places to visit in London. Languages: ru, he, en

This square is one of the most recognizable in the city. The classic two-tower Gothic portal adorns the main entrance to Westminster Abbey. In front of it is a memorial column of the Crimean War and Indian Uprising. Behind them is the entrance to the park of the famous Westminster School, founded by Benedictine monks before the Norman conquest of England in the eleventh century. The park is a large lawn called Dean's Yard. Many believe that this is where the game of football was born.
