A few snapshots of Big Ben and the other surrounding sights included.

The big ol' grand Church of England, burial and memorial spot of some very important individuals.
We made use of a multimedia tour guide and strolled on through.
A collection of tombs of English Kings and Queens, other nobility and then some people who actually made a difference.
Exterior gardens outside of the church itself, where monks would spend the majority of their downtime.
The centrepiece of British military dominance, or at least it was. Now it's still very impressive and all, the crown jewels were shiny, the punch bowl also.
The White Tower is the central building within the Tower of London and boasts an impressive collection of mediaeval and beyond weaponry, including a P90.
