THINGS TO DO
Big Ben
Considered the world’s most famous clock, Big Ben is the nickname given to the Great Bell of the clock at the Palace of Westminster, home to UK Parliament. The name often interchanges for both the clock and the clock tower, although the clock tower was officially named the Queen Elizabeth tower in 2012. The Bell weighs 15 .1 tonnes and is used to mark the hour. With its construction completed in 1859, the tower has been undergoing the most complex renovations in its history since 2017.
London Eye
The London Eye, on the South Bank of the River Thames, opened in 1999 and is Europe’s tallest cantilevered observation wheel, with a full rotation taking 30 minutes. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the United Kingdom, with stunning 360-degree views across London.
