THE TOWER OF LONDON
The Tower of London is a fortress standing on the
north bank of the Thames, the historical center of
London, one of the oldest buildings in England and
one of the main symbols of Great Britain. As Prince
Philip, Duke of Edinburgh wrote in his book, “During
its history, the Tower of London has been a fortress, a
palace, a repository for the Crown Jewels, an arsenal,
a mint, a prison, an observatory, a zoo, and a tourist
attraction."

BIG BEN
Big Ben is a popular tourist name
for the clock tower of the Palace of
Westminster. The official name of
the tower since 2012 is Elizabeth
Tower, it is one of the most
recognizable symbols of Great
Britain. Initially, “Big Ben” was the
name of the largest of the five bells,
but often this name is broadly
applied to the clock and the clock
tower as a whole.
