Big Ben & The Houses Of Parliament

I went to watch the House of Commons on the last day parliament was in session. It was cool to see government in action and it was actually quite entertaining as well.

Only U.K. citizens are allowed in Big Ben, so that’s the only part I didn’t do. The tour lasts about an hour and fifteen minutes. I got my ticket online, so that saved some time. Everything was very impressive. Do this if you can.

there’s no more famous sight in london. plus you have people going about their business as normal and tourists standing in the middle of the sidewalk staring upwards with cameras. well i too was one of those tourists so i didn’t feel quite so bad.

nice contrast of two worlds when you think about it: those on vacation and those who would rather be on vacation.

sup Ben, how’s it going?

I didn’t realize how loud it was.

When I saw it…felt nothing
But,but…when I walked near this and stood beside it
Wow…so so great~ so so beautiful!!
I like :)

Definitely the best thing to see in London

I visited here on a school art trip to the tate modern … lol, well the trip lasted around 2 hours but then we were allowed 4 hours to do our thing around London City Centre. I went with group of mates and we visited Big Ben, Houses of Parliament, walked past 10 Downing Street, walked along that stretch of road with all the flags and the constant parading cavalry in gold armour- now that’s a class sight!

Breath-taking when you see them for the first time. You’ve seen it so many times in movies, but seeing it with your own eyes on the streets of London is unexplainable. It’s one of those reality check moments when you realize you really are in a foriegn country.
