Icons of London


Big Ben or really Elizabeth Tower

You can find there which Elizabeth it is named after.

Tower Bridge

I saw this bridge on a tour from afar during the day and then on a romantic dinner cruise down the Thames. For more information: Click here 



The Palace of Westminster

More information for you: Click here same site as Big Ben as they are connected.



The skyline here is the Westminster Palace, Westminster Abby, and Big Ben or Elizabeth Tower

We had a daily view of these icons as our Marriott Hotel Court House was just off the river Thames by the London Eye, and across from the Westminster Palace, Westminster Abby, and Big Ben.


Walking home from the Victoria Palace Theater on Victoria Street, we had a view of all three icons. Though by then we had moved to the Grand Hotel on Trafalgar Square, so it was on our way home.
