Just next to the Palace of Westminster is one of the most iconic sights and internationally recognizable monuments in the world, Big Ben. The name “Big Ben” is actually the nickname given to the Great Bell of the clock, though it is commonly used to refer to both the clock and the clock tower itself. The original name of the tower housing Big Ben was “The Clock Tower”, but it was renamed “Elizabeth Tower” in 2012 to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II.

This was a wonderful way to visit Westminster. Our guide (Tim) was well prepared, incredibly helpful and very knowledgeable about the history. He pointed out lots of interesting things. We did skip the line and enter somewhere other than general admission. Highly recommend this tour for families.

This tour was amazing! Our tour guide, Denisa, was just perfect for our family. She was engaging, knowledgeable and kept our 7 year old fully involved and kept us moving throughout the tour, pausing to share her knowledge. We enjoyed spending these few hours with her and felt that we walked away learning many things we had not known about Westminster Abbey! She made it easy to understand even for our 7 year old who asked a lot of questions! Ask for Denisa, you will be thankful that you did!
