Sep 18, 2008
It's funny how we associate a building with a country. When you think of England, you instantly associate Big Ben, Parliament, and Westminster Bridge with it. Seeing it live is great. The bell sound is better than in any movie. Its beautiful at night also. Take a walk to the other side of Westminster Bridge to take some great photos... more

I thought Big Ben was very cool. It is beautiful. I got to hear it ring twice at different times and thought it sounded pretty. Just be careful...its near a busy road. You should totally spend some of your time in London to hear and see Big Ben. more

There's just something about it. Hear it chime while walking along the Thames. Looking straight up at it from the sidewalk. Another great view is from inside the fence of the Houses of Parliament (which you can visit for free!). more

An excelent place and full of tourists, spectacular at night when the clock faces are illuminated more

The Clock Tower, knowned as The Big Ben, is as majestic as I expected. The silhouette, the golden image, the size and all the environment around astonished me, because it was one of my dreams to be right in front of Big Ben. more
