A tip I have about this place

I live very close to Parliament and have seen it at pretty much every angle and time of day. For people who’re only in London for a short time – go REALLY late at night (2am or so). No one’s around and it’s beautifully lit up. As a general rule in fact: 2am is the best time to see London. You get it all to yourself and can really be submersed in its feel and history.

I never thought it was so lovely!!
Seeing it in a picture is not like seeing it live!
Really impressive!!

A tip I have about this place

I was gobsmacked to learn that Big Ben is really the Large Bell inside of the Clock Tower. Looking at the Tower you can’t see Big Ben ~ you can only hear him!

Why I recommend this place to visitors

Aaah, dear Big Ben. To Brits, Big Ben is inextricably linked with 2 things – the ITV News At Ten (which incorporates the chimes – or “bongs” as we call them – into the opening sequence) and the countdown to New Year’s Day.

Plus, it looks beautiful lit up at night :)
