PLACES FOR PARTIES
Jack is planning a birthday party with twenty stars from the worlds of sport, music and films. But Jack isn't famous - and the stars aren't real. He's planning a Party for 60 guests at Madame Tussauds, the famous waxworks museum. Jack says he's really excited about the party because Angelina Jolie is waiting for him there.
Sue and Olivia are planning a big family party at a famous landmark: the Tower of London. The venue-called the Pavilion- isn't inside the Tower: it's next to it. There's space for 200 guests to have dinner. One wall of the Pavilion has lots of windows and there are amazing views of the Tower at night.
