   Houses of Parliament & Big Ben

   Just next to the Palace of Westminster

   Just next to the Palace of Westminster is one of the most iconic sights and internationally recognizable monuments in the world, Big Ben. The name “Big Ben” is actually the nickname given to the Great Bell of the clock, though it is commonly used to refer to both the clock and the clock tower itself. The original name of the tower housing Big Ben was “The Clock Tower”, but it was renamed “Elizabeth Tower” in 2012 to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II.

   You will round off your tour with a relaxing stroll through the idyllic greenery of St. James's Park. One of the main features of the park is its lake with two islands, West Island and Duck Island.
