Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament
Probably the most famous icon of the city is the Big Ben and tower at the Houses of Parliament. The most people believe the Big Ben to be the tower itself but actually Big Ben is the 13 ton heavy bell within the tower. Nevertheless, it is a sight worth seeing and looks even more impressive illuminated during the evening hours.

The City of London
Walking through London is like walking through history. Although the core of the city has a modern look to it, it is surrounded by historical sights. It seems that with every new corner there is some historical building, fountain or statue to be seen. This picture was made along the Thames, across from the Tower Bridge and shows the contrast of old and new.

Paddington Bear
The most famous bear of London has to be Paddington Bear, created by Michael Bond. Who can resist that bear wearing a trench coat, rain hat and wearing the tag around his neck, “Please Look After This Bear. Thank You”. The books of his adventures are loved by young and old alike.

The London Underground or The Tube
If you are a tourist visiting the city, a car is not necessary. The Underground and busses reach all corners of the city and once you learn how to use the public transportation, you will find that it is a cinch.
