Big Ben and House of Parliament are famous landmarks of Westminster, England.

Big Ben is the name of the main bell of a clock structure named the Clock Tower. However, with time it has become synonymous with the whole tower. It holds the title of the worlds largest four-faced chiming clock.

The House of Parliament is one of the largest parliaments in the world. Dating back to the nineteenth century, it contains about 1,200 rooms and displays intricate architecture and holds ceremonial events.

Big Ben is the focus of New Year celebrations in England with people welcoming the New Year tuning to its chimes. It is at its spectacular best at night when the clock faces are illuminated.

The House of Parliament, complete with various towers like the Victoria Tower and lush gardens like the Black Rods Garden is also an enthralling place to visit.
