Ⅰ. Introduction of attractions near Victoria Station  1. Victoria Station  The official name of National Rail Victoria Station is "London Victoria", which is generally used by residents outside of London, but less used by residents of urban London.  In practice, NRA Victoria Station operates in two parts: East (Chatham), consisting of platforms 1-8, for the Chatham Main Line (Chatham Main Line) to Kent and its branches The terminal of the train. West (Brighton), consisting of platforms 9-19, is the terminal to Surrey and Sussex, and also includes the Brighton main line connecting Gatwick Airport and Brighton Main Line and its branches.  The station is divided into two parts because the track layout is not suitable for too much communication. The eastern platform is only served by the Chatham Main Line switch bridge in the Battersea area. The west platform is busier than the east platform, and some suburban train lines that originally used the west platform need to use the east platform. This often happens particularly with the Gatwick Express on the Brighton mainline, which uses the east platform during track maintenance works.  Victoria Station is also the London terminus of the Venice Simplon-Orient Express, which uses platform 2, which is the longest of the station. Victoria Station is run by John Dedross, Station Master of Network Rail.  2. Vauxhall Bridge  Built in 1906 by the Prince of Wales (later George V), it replaced the Prince Regent's Bridge, built between 1809 and 1816, and was London's first tram bridge. Another unique feature of Vauxhall Bridge is the bronze statue decoration on the pier.  3. London Aquarium  It is located in the County Hall on the south bank of the River Thames. This is the largest and most spectacular aquatic life exhibition hall in Europe. The London Aquarium is committed to raising awareness of the world's water environment and to this end it holds a series of exhibitions on the world's oceans. Here, visitors can learn about all the world's oceans as well as rainforests, tropical freshwater, coasts and beaches. And the details of the daily expert commentary are listed on the screen in the lobby. The aquarium also has a conservation and rearing program, managed by a team of biological experts.  4.

From London Liverpool Street Station to Kings Cross Station by TrainⅠ. Introduction to attractions at King's Cross Station 1. King's Cross Railway Station  King's Cross Railway Station is a large railway terminal opened in 1852. It is located in the King's Cross area of central London, on the Camden side of the border between Camden and Islington.  In addition, King's Cross Station has many routes to the east and north of England and Scotland, connecting many big cities, such as Cambridge, Kingston upon Hull, Edinburgh. Among them, Edinburgh is beautiful and well worth a visit.  2. Tower Bridge, London As the most prosperous city in the world at that time, the development of traffic across the Thames River in London has far exceeded the capacity of the existing bridges at that time. After a period of development, London Tower Bridge came into being, connecting the north and south of London as a whole.  The tower bridge bridge is divided into upper and lower floors. The upper floor is a wide suspended walkway with glass windows on both sides. Pedestrians pass through the bridge and can enjoy the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Thames River; while the lower floor is for vehicles, when a 10,000-ton ship passes by, the machine in the main tower is activated, and the bridge body is slowly separated and folded upwards. After the ship passes, the bridge body is slowly lowered to resume vehicle traffic.  3. Big Ben  Regarding this, I have to say that the architect is really quite thoughtful, using the tower as the clock. As another landmark building in London, Big Ben is also far-reaching. In the movie, the scenes about the clock tower, whether it is fighting or anything, are quite impressive.  So in fact, "Big Ben" is a big clock tower located in the north of the Houses of Parliament in London, England. It weighs 13.5 tons, the dial is 7 meters in diameter, the hour and minute hands are 2.75 meters long and 4.27 meters long, and the pendulum weighs 305 kilograms. It is famous for its accuracy and the huge 13-ton bronze bell used to tell the time.  Today, Big Ben is 160+ years old. It has been repaired for 4 years in 17 years, and it only rings on important festivals. Although it doesn't sound, it will be a matter of time before recovery. In fact, if you think about it, you have to admire it. As an auxiliary clock tower, it shows the brilliance of the protagonist, and it has symbolic meaning, it is believed that this "old man" will soon return to his youth.  Ⅱ.
