  Possibly the most famous clock face and chimes in the world, Big Ben is actually the name of the biggest bell (13.5 tons) inside The Clock Tower (320 ft) which forms part of the Houses of Parliament. Built in 1858/9 the bell was named after one Sir Benjamin Hall and when it was cast it was Britain's heaviest bell. The clock's four dials each have a diameter of 23 ft, the minute hands are 14 ft long and the numerals on each face are nearly 2ft high.

  Piccadilly Circus attracts a large crowd today. It was created by John Nash as part of his new road from St James to Regents Park. The Circus is close to major shopping and entertainment areas in the West End. Its status as a major traffic intersection has made Piccadilly Circus a busy meeting place and a tourist attraction in its own right. The Circus is particularly known for its video display and neon signs, as well as the Shaftesbury memorial fountain and statue of the Greek god Anteros.

  The Houses of Parliament, is the seat of Britain's two parliamentary houses, the House of Lords and the House of Commons.

  In the middle of the 11th century, King Edward the Confessor had moved his court to the Palace of Westminster, situated on a central site near the riverThames.

  In 1265 a parliament was created with two houses: the Lords and the Commons. The House of Lords met at the Palace of Westminster while the House of Commons did not have a permanent location.

  After King Henry VIII moved his court to Whitehall Palace in 1530, the House of Lords continued to meet in Westminster. In 1547 the House of Commons also moved here, confirming Westminster as the central seat of government, a position it still holds today.
