Stuart EcclesOctober 8, 2009The chimes of big ben are played live on Radio4. If you stand at Parliment Square listening to the radio in one ear and the actual chimes in the other, you hear them on radio first

anizAHM majidDecember 21, 2012Beware of beggars (fat ugly women) who wait for people by the stairs. They'll trick u with handmade flowers n ask for money to feed the 'homeless child'. They only want papers not coins :)
