4. Houses of Parliament & Big Ben
The heart of British democracy features neo-Gothic spires and the world’s most famous clock. Our tours include photo stops from multiple Thames viewpoints and after-dark illumination viewing. Fun fact: Big Ben refers specifically to the bell, not the clock tower itself.
