Charlie and his dad are shopping in London. Charlie sees a sign: - Dad, look! I'm a good photographer! Buy a newspaper, please! - OK. Here's a pound. Be careful! There are pickpockets in town. At home, Charlie reads the newspaper. - Look, Mum, he says. Here's a good competition for me! - Yes! Take my camera, but be careful, there are pickpockets in town!
Charlie phones his friend Abdul. - It's Charlie. Listen! There's a photo competition. - Cool. I'm a good photographer! says Abdul. - Yes, you are... but I'm better! says Charlie. Charlie has got an idea: - Let's take photos together! Abdul arrives at Charlie's house. He has got his camera. Harvey, his hamster, is on his shoulder. - Let's find good places, says Charlie. - The London Eye? Or Trafalgar Square? - No, says Charlie. Buckingham Palace... Big Ben! - Yes, and Tower Bridge! says Abdul.

Charlie says: - We are here: Hammersmith. Let's go to Buckingham Palace first. That's near Green Park Underground station. - Which line is it? Abdul asks. - It's the Piccadilly line, says Charlie. - And for Big Ben, which station is it? Abdul asks. - It's Westminster station, says Charlie. - Oh, no... Harvey, stop eating the map! says Abdul. The boys are ready to go. Mum says: - Come back before six o'clock!
At the Underground station, Abdul can't find his Oyster card. - Buy a ticket then! And be quick! says Charlie. There is a long queue for the ticket machine. The boys go to the platform. On the train, Charlie counts the stations: - One, two, three, four, five, six, seven... At Green Park station, Charlie says: - Let's run to Buckingham Palace!
Charlie says: -There are lots of tourists at Buckingham Palace. The Queen lives here! - Let's take a photo of the guard, says Abdul. Charlie likes the guard too. He has got a red jacket and a big black hat. - Ready, Abdul? asks Charlie. -Not yet! - Hurry up! It's four o'clock! The boys hurry back to the Underground station. From Green Park to Westminster station, it's only one stop.
