Big Ben

Visiting Big Ben in London was a special experience. As soon as I arrived at Parliament Square, I was mesmerized by the sight of the famous clock and the majestic tower. I traveled around the area, taking photos of landmarks such as the Thames River and the London Eye. I enjoyed a guided tour of the Houses of Parliament, where I heard fascinating historical stories about the place and its role in British politics. Afterwards, I wandered the streets of Westminster, enjoying the nearby cafes and shops. The hourly chimes of Big Ben added a unique touch of originality and history. It was an unforgettable visit that reflected the ancient spirit of London.

#visitlondon I guess this place is one of the most associated with London - Big Ben Tower, which is 97 meters high, crowned with a giant clock and a sonorous bell, in fact, which is called Big Ben. Right next to Big Ben, stretching on the banks of the Thames, is the building of the British Parliament - Palace of Westminster. Parking in this part of the city is quite difficult to find, so it's easiest to get a taxi if you don't want to use public transport. It is enough to ask the driver to take you to Big Ben - everyone knows where it is, and it is easily recognized on all maps. But I always prefer the metro or walking from the center. Metro station: Charing Cross, Victoria or Waterloo. #mytripvlog #summervacation #london

This is the essence of live photos. Once again in London! The city is truly the opposite of Edinburgh; London is the epitome of modernity, while Edinburgh is the epitome of antiquity. These two are my favorite cities in the UK. Back at Big Ben again! Found a great spot and wanted to share it. I really always go to St. James's Park in front of Buckingham Palace to see that castle. This time I also visited the long-awaited Greenwich and Notting Hill, and then accompanied a friend to check off the classic trio. I'll come back next time, haven't had enough fun yet, hehehe

#europetrip Incredible towering structure, very iconic and unique, a very important representation of the history it holds in London. Truly magnificent look. The Elizabeth Tower is the clock tower of the Palace of Westminster in London, England. It contains the Great Clock, a striking clock with five bells. The tower is nicknamed "Big Ben", a name which was originally applied only to the largest bell of the clock. Its construction started on September 28, 1843, opening on May 31, 1859, with a height of 96m and 11 floors, designed by architect Augustus Pugin, Charles Barry.

Strolling through the streets of London, it feels as though I've stepped back into the classical era. Each building, each piece of street art exudes a unique charm. The Big Ben, the Thames River, the British Museum... These iconic sights immerse me in a profound historical stream. The skyline here is also vastly different from that of my home country, with the air filled with a rich British ambiance.

#londontrip It’s always a great stop as we walk through London. The kids really enjoyed the ability to see the famous earth sign and get photos. Big Ben tour in December 2023. I was able to book tickets to climb the famous Elizabeth Tower. It is currently only available to UK residents and is on sale every Wednesday at 10am. They sell faster than old bell beats! What a great tour We climbed 334 steps to the tower, saw a Big Ben Ell bell hit 12 times in the afternoon, and saw the clock mechanism before walking behind all four clock faces. As a proud Briton – this is much more than just a watch – it’s a national icon that has been the backdrop for many historical events and traditional New Year celebrations. It was an absolute honor to be there and surprisingly emotional. The entire tour is routed with plenty of stations, where you are provided with relevant information. The only criticism/frustration was the fact that images were not allowed. They were very strict about this and the cameras/phones had to be put in a closet. It was great to take a magic tour. Not sure why - security or timing? I bought a guidebook at the Westminster store. Putting eyes on Big Ben meant seeing London truly to preserve it. It is located near the London Eye and Westminster Abbey! Great experience for the first time in London!
