Jack: Where do you want to go?

Paul: I'm new to the city. I don't know.

Jack:

Look at my map. Here's Buckingham Palace and Hyde Park isn't far away. Here's Westminster Abbey. It's near the Houses of Parliament.

Paul:

Oh, I know. We can go to Buckingham Palace first. I'm curious about your princes and princesses.

Jack:

It's difficult to see them... but we can see the Changing of the Guard at 11:30.

Paul: OK. Good idea. How do we get there?

Jack:

I'm not sure. Let's ask the policewoman. Excuse me, where's Buckingham Palace?

Policewoman:

It's at the end of The Mall. You can go by bus or by tube.

Jack: My uncle and my aunt are going with us and they like walking. We'll go on foot. Can you tell me the way to The Mall, please?

Policewoman:

Go along Charing Cross Road. You'll see Nelson's column in Trafalgar Square. The Mall is in front of you, on the opposite side of the square.

Jack: Thank you.
