Amazing architecture! Good place to walk around especially the river side..
Really beautiful
Big Ben refers to the 13 ton bell in the clock tower of Westminster Palace. Opinion is divided as to whether it was named after the then Commissioner of Works, or a famous prize-fighter of the time.
Take a moment to meditate and relax at the stunning pagoda. Vistas along the Thames are amazing.
This Peace Pagoda is one of more than 80 built worldwide to symbolise peace and is the gift of Japanese Buddhists. This one was built in1985, the 40th anniversary of the atomic bombings in Japan.
26 July: The Pagoda was built in 1985, after the monks of the Nipponzan Myohoji Buddhist Order came to London and lived within Battersea Park.
Amazing Historical City, traditional buildings, classical atmosphere everywhere! Enjoy British heritage. Bus Tour is nice, London Eye, Undergrounds, Buses, Theatre, Fish & Chips, Hyde Park & shoppings
Sculpted from Italian marble and based on the Arch of Constantine in Rome, this was built in 1827 as the entrance to Buckingham Palace. It was moved here in 1851 when the palace was enlarged.

Amazing art! This memorial goes some way to explaining how Victoria felt about Albert – it's so different to what you would normally find in London. Mesmerising.
This monument to the beloved husband of Queen Victoria celebrates Albert as a patron of the arts, science and industry. Its enormous cost (about £10m today) was met by public donations.
It was designed shortly after Albert’s death by George Gilbert Scott (who was later knighted) and completed in 1872, although the central statue of Prince Albert was not placed upon it until 1876
Popular tourist monument in Trafalgar Square. Don’t climb on the lions, it’s finable offense. Grab a sandwich & coffee from Pret across the road, sit on the monument stairs & watch the world go by.
The statue of Horatio Nelson, killed at his greatest victory at Trafalgar in 1805, is 18 feet tall. If Hitler had conquered Britain, he planned to have the column moved to Berlin.
Join the kids in climbing up the big lions. Just don't fall and embarrass yourself.
Inside the monument there is a little (with emphasis on little) museum about the arch and the Battle of Waterloo. You can go out ob the balconies from the museum's top floor.
This hollow Arch was half ventilation shaft for the Underground, half a tiny police station until 1992. Now open to the public for a sneaking glimpses of the Buckingham Palace private gardens.
This arch, built in honour of the hero of the Battle of Waterloo, once formed a grand western entrance to London, but had to be moved aside in 1885 as it created a notorious traffic bottleneck.
Definitely worth the £5 entry to climb to the top for the view!
Built to commemorate the Great Fire of 1666, the height of the Monument is the same as its distance from the bakery on Pudding Lane where the fire started.
Visit this instead of the London Eye. Only 300+ steps or so, it's cheaper and it is better for your health. Lovely views from the top and you get a certificate as well!
Subtle and thought provoking.
Puede pasar desapercibido, pero su valor simbólico es innegable.
These stern soldiers in their bearskins commemorate the role of the Brigade of Guards in the Crimean War, 1854-56. It’s one of the first memorials to recognise ordinary soldiers, not just officers.
If you visit St Jame's Park you also can think in the Great War (1914-18)
Landmark building which incorporates an archway providing access between The Mall, which extends to the South-West, and Trafalgar Sq to the North-East. John Prescott used to have a private flat here.
John Prescott used to have a private flat here. Fact.
Check out the nose sticking out of the wall of one of the arches.
11 November: Remember the Glorious Dead. The monument was designed in Portland stone by the imperial architect Lutyens & finished in 1920. It is a Grade I-listed structure & bears little decoration.
Indrukwekkend oorlogsmonument
Great place to sit on the steps and watch London world go by.
Great historical place to visit..
This column commemorates the second son of George III. As commander-in-chief of the British Army he is immortalised as the ‘the Grand Old Duke of York, he had 10,000 men...’
