Amazing architecture! Good place to walk around especially the river side..
Really beautiful
Big Ben refers to the 13 ton bell in the clock tower of Westminster Palace. Opinion is divided as to whether it was named after the then Commissioner of Works, or a famous prize-fighter of the time.
A beautiful touch of Japanese Zen Buddhism in Battersea Park. Spare a few moments from London's hurly-burly for some tranquillity here. Read more.
This Peace Pagoda is one of more than 80 built worldwide to symbolise peace and is the gift of Japanese Buddhists. This one was built in1985, the 40th anniversary of the atomic bombings in Japan.
26 July: The Pagoda was built in 1985, after the monks of the Nipponzan Myohoji Buddhist Order came to London and lived within Battersea Park.
Amazing art! This memorial goes some way to explaining how Victoria felt about Albert – it's so different to what you would normally find in London. Mesmerising.
This monument to the beloved husband of Queen Victoria celebrates Albert as a patron of the arts, science and industry. Its enormous cost (about £10m today) was met by public donations.
It was designed shortly after Albert’s death by George Gilbert Scott (who was later knighted) and completed in 1872, although the central statue of Prince Albert was not placed upon it until 1876
Amazing Historical City, traditional buildings, classical atmosphere everywhere! Enjoy British heritage. Bus Tour is nice, London Eye, Undergrounds, Buses, Theatre, Fish & Chips, Hyde Park & shoppings
Sculpted from Italian marble and based on the Arch of Constantine in Rome, this was built in 1827 as the entrance to Buckingham Palace. It was moved here in 1851 when the palace was enlarged.

Situated in the centre of Trafalgar Square; lovely landmark
The statue of Horatio Nelson, killed at his greatest victory at Trafalgar in 1805, is 18 feet tall. If Hitler had conquered Britain, he planned to have the column moved to Berlin.
Join the kids in climbing up the big lions. Just don't fall and embarrass yourself.
Quiet, Peaceful & Charming destination at late night .. (Say something, I'm giving up on you) !!
This hollow Arch was half ventilation shaft for the Underground, half a tiny police station until 1992. Now open to the public for a sneaking glimpses of the Buckingham Palace private gardens.
This arch, built in honour of the hero of the Battle of Waterloo, once formed a grand western entrance to London, but had to be moved aside in 1885 as it created a notorious traffic bottleneck.
Subtle and thought provoking.
Puede pasar desapercibido, pero su valor simbólico es innegable.
Wonderful architecture, a must see in London.
Built to commemorate the Great Fire of 1666, the height of the Monument is the same as its distance from the bakery on Pudding Lane where the fire started.
Visit this instead of the London Eye. Only 300+ steps or so, it's cheaper and it is better for your health. Lovely views from the top and you get a certificate as well!
Landmark building which incorporates an archway providing access between The Mall, which extends to the South-West, and Trafalgar Sq to the North-East. John Prescott used to have a private flat here.
John Prescott used to have a private flat here. Fact.
Check out the nose sticking out of the wall of one of the arches.
Amazing view of the London skyline. Totally recommend the climb.
This is where it will all happen. The stadium will have 80,000 seats for the Games and shrink to a 60,000-seat venue for a variety of sporting and cultural events. Read more.
Great for going up and coming down again.
These stern soldiers in their bearskins commemorate the role of the Brigade of Guards in the Crimean War, 1854-56. It’s one of the first memorials to recognise ordinary soldiers, not just officers.
If you visit St Jame's Park you also can think in the Great War (1914-18)
11 November: Remember the Glorious Dead. The monument was designed in Portland stone by the imperial architect Lutyens & finished in 1920. It is a Grade I-listed structure & bears little decoration.
Indrukwekkend oorlogsmonument
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
