The Infamous

This is Big Ben and the Parliment building. It is right on the waters edge. I was amazed at how small it was really. It is absolutely beautiful though and so ornately decorated. The clock is actually just called the big clock and Big Ben refers to the name of the bell housed inside. It was designed by a man neamed Ben that was only 5 foot, and therefore nicknamed Big Ben. When the clock first went into action, it took two men 32 hours to wind it up. The parliment building is lovely and shows when parliment is in session by a flag hanging outside. There was obviously no session that day...
