One of the most famous

landmarks of London.

The name „Big Ben”

does not refer

to the whole clocktower,

but to the thirteen-tonne

bell that strikes the hour.

Big Ben is a part of The Houses of Parliament,

also known as the Palace of Westminster.

The building consists of The House of Commons,

The House of Lords and Westminster Hall.

On the other side

of the River Thames

you can see

the London Eye,

sometimes called

the Millenium Wheel,

the largest observation

wheel in the world.

It was opened

on December 31, 1999.

Just next to the Palace

of Westminster,

this gothic church

is the traditional place

of coronation and burial

site for English monarchs.
