  • Buckingham Palace is the house of the royal family of the United Kingdom.
    A lot of visitors most of the time come to see the inside of the palace (with organized tours) and also to see the changing of the guards.

    To my opinion - there are better attractions in London than the buckingham palace.

  • Big Ben is the clock of the House of the parliament.
    The height of the clock is 96m.
    The name Big ben is not the correct name - the real name is "The Clock Tower" or "St. Stephen's Tower"

    Correct or not - a lot of people come to take pictures of the clock.

     Did you notice how the skeletons are right by the ATM machine in the dungon? Wonder if they died of shock when they saw the fees!
