The Houses of Parliament and Elizabeth Tower, commonly called Big Ben, are among London's most iconic landmarks and must-see London attractions. Technically, Big Ben is the name given to the massive bell inside the clock tower, which weighs more than 13 tons (13,760 kg).  The clock tower looks spectacular at night when the four clock faces are illuminated.

It is located in Westminster, London, west of the Palace of Westminster, the seat of the parliament. It was named in order to distinguish it from that of St. Mary of the Graces located to the east home to a Cistercian monastery.Westminster Abbey was built between 1045 and 1050 by Edoardo the Confessor who undertook construction to keep faith with a vow he had made while still in exile in Normandy: If his family had re-established the throne England, he would have made a pilgrimage to Rome.

When he became king, it was impossible for him to leave the country, he sent a messenger to the pontiff asking to be dispensed from the vote, the pope replaced the vote in the commitment to build a monastery dedicated to St. Peter.

Buckingham Palace has served as the official London residence of the UK’s sovereigns since 1837 and today is the administrative headquarters of the Monarch. Although in use for the many official events and receptions held by The Queen, the State Rooms at Buckingham Palace are open to visitors every summer.

Buckingham Palace has 775 rooms. These include 19 State rooms, 52 Royal and guest bedrooms, 188 staff bedrooms, 92 offices and 78 bathrooms. In measurements, the building is 108 metres long across the front, 120 metres deep (including the central quadrangle) and 24 metres high.

Buckingham Palace today

Today, Buckingham Palace is very much a working building and the centrepiece of the UK’s constitutional monarchy, serving as the venue for many royal events and ceremonies from entertaining foreign Head of States to celebrating achievement at Investitures and receptions.

More than 50,000 people visit the Palace each year as guests to State banquets, lunches, dinners, receptions and Garden Parties. Her Majesty also holds weekly audiences with the Prime Minister and receives newly-appointed foreign Ambassadors at Buckingham Palace.

Tower Bridge is a combined bascule and suspension bridge in London built between 1886 and 1894. The bridge crosses the River Thames close to the Tower of London and has become an iconic symbol of London. Because of this, Tower Bridge is sometimes confused with London Bridge, situated some 0.5 mi (0.80 km) upstream. Tower Bridge is one of five London bridges now owned and maintained by the Bridge House Estates, a charitable trust overseen by the City of London Corporation. It is the only one of the Trust's bridges not to connect the City of London directly to the Southwark bank, as its northern landfall is in Tower Hamlets.
The Tower of London has played a prominent role in English history. It was besieged several times, and controlling it has been important to controlling the country. The Tower has served variously as an armoury, a treasury, a menagerie, the home of the Royal Mint, a public record office, and the home of the Crown Jewels of England. From the early 14th century until the reign of Charles II, a procession would be led from the Tower to Westminster Abbey on the coronation of a monarch. In the absence of the monarch, the Constable of the Tower is in charge of the castle. This was a powerful and trusted position in the medieval period. In the late 15th century, the castle was the prison of the Princes in the Tower. Under the Tudors, the Tower became used less as a royal residence, and despite attempts to refortify and repair the castle, its defences lagged behind developments to deal with artillery.

The London Eye, also known as the Millennium Wheel, is a Ferris wheel on the south bank of the Thames.Its construction, which began in 1998, ended March 9, 2000. With its 135 meters, it was the world's tallest ferris wheel until the construction of the Star of Nanchang (China), opened in May 2006 (160 m high) and later the Singapore Flyer, 30 meters taller than the London Eye. Subsequently it was exceeded in height by other 3 wheels not yet open.

It is the tallest Ferris wheel in Europe and offered the highest observation point in the city of London up to overtaking by the observation post located on the 72nd floor of the Shard (245m).  open to the public from 1 February 2013. The London Eye is supported by connecting bars that make it look like a big bike wheel: it is in fact represented in an advertising poster of a charity bike race.

On June 7, 1753, George II gave his formal assent to the law that created the British Museum. The Foundation act joined two libraries at Sloane's initial collection: The Cottonian library, reunited by Sir Robert Bruce Cotton and dating from the Elizabethan age, and the Harleiana Library, reunited by the Earls of Oxford. The Royal Library was added to these in 1757, composed of books acquired by several British monarchs. These four "foundational collections" included many of the precious books now transferred to the British Library, including the Lindisfarne Gospel Book and the only surviving copy of Beowulf.

The British Museum was the first museum of new type; National, not of ecclesiastical property or of the king, open to the public free of charge (since 1810 [3]) and intended to preserve all human productions. The variegated collections gathered by Sloane, reflected his peculiar interests. The addition of the Libraries Cottoniana and Harleiana introduced literary and antiquarian elements, making the museum also the library of the nation.

It was built in late Roman times in wood, probably by Mellitus or another Augustinian missionary. It was rebuilt in 604 in Ludgate Hill, where it is currently located. The church's location was in the west of Roman London and in the east of Lundenwic.Tradition has it that under the cathedral there were megaliths or in any case of stones in the circle, in Roman times a temple was built to the goddess Diana, opposite to that of the god Apollo under Westminster; Wren never took this into account during his design.

The new church was rebuilt in stone in 685 by the King or by San Sebbi of Essex. It was looted by the Vikings in 961, as quoted in the Anglo-Saxon chronicles.

Built in 1819 to connect Regent Street with the eponymous Piccadilly (important shopping street) has become over the years one of the main hubs of city traffic. Its fortunate location in the heart of London's West End, and the proximity to important places of interest such as Shaftesbury Avenue's theaters or streets like Coventry Street and The Haymarket full of shops and trendy bars, have made Piccadilly Circus a crowded spot meeting, as well as a real tourist attraction so much to become one of the very symbols of London.
The origin of the name is singular: at the turn of the 1500s and the 1600s, particular types of rigid collars for clothes called picadils became very fashionable.The fountain with the statues group dedicated to Horses of Helios (the Horses of Apollo), located on the border between Piccadilly and Haymarket, deserves to be seen. This is the favorite place for most Londoners to make an appointment.
Once you have finished your visit, from Piccadilly Circus you can easily walk to Soho, Chinatown, Leicester Square and Trafalgar Square.

Some studies carried out in 1960 showed that, in the area where the square now stands, about 40,000 years ago a continental fauna lived: in fact, the remains of cave lions, rhinos, elephants with straight tusks and hippopotamuses were found.In any case, the square was since the thirteenth century the vital center of the city: during the reign of Edward I, the area was home to the royal stables (King's Mews), located there until George IV, following a fire flared up in 1534, he moved them to Buckingham Palace.
