Saw some of the iconic places in London, namely Big Ben and London Eye (from a distance). We came at the time when the Elizabeth Tower, which houses the clock tower, and parts of the Houses of Parliament were under conservation works.
Houses of Parliament! It opens during the months of summer, and this year it's from July 26 to September 1, 2018. Visitors can opt for tours around the building (more information can be found here). We were here last June, so it wasn't open during this time. We simply just admired this view, despite the scaffolding surrounding.
Also known as the Millennium Wheel
Just around the area is the London Eye! Even right now as I write this entry, I can't help but admire this photo that I took. It was considered to be the tallest wheel during 1999.
We were at the Westminster bridge, and we saw lots of ships cruising by towards the south of the river Thames. We took lots of family selfies of course and admired it for a while, imprinting it into our minds, before heading out to our next destination.

What's your favorite place in London, or the place you've been wanting to see?
The Big Ben is one of the iconic landmarks in London.
ReplyDeleteSad that it is not in its usual form, but soon enough will be back to normal.
I like your jacket by the way!

I hope to see it again without the scaffolding and hear its bongs!
DeleteOh, an answer to your question is the Buckingham Palace.
ReplyDeleteI was fortunate enough to visit the Buckingham Palace in the summer of 2015.
I saw the state rooms and other parts of the palace.
I think it is open to the public in the summer for a fee.

Awesome! We were only able to admire it from outside :')
