Travel Guide London

When taking the tube exiting at Westminster or St. James Park stations, or the Waterloo train station just across the Thames from Westminster palace, the recognizable sight greeting travellers jutting against the London skyline would be the London Clock Tower or collectively known as the Big Ben– a magnificent work of art, a muted yet persistent presence to native Londoners and sojourners. Certainly, imperfect are the days without the recognizable distant toll of the bells from the Tower principally that of the faithful and reliable 13-ton – the original piece bestowed the nick good ol, Big Ben.
