Big Ben (green, left)
Big Ben is one of London's most famous landmarks and a worldwide symbol of the British capital. The neo-Gothic clock tower was completed in 1858 as part of the Palace of Westminster and rises to a height of 96 meters. Strictly speaking, the name "Big Ben" refers to the main bell inside the tower, weighing around 13.5 tons, but it is often used for the entire structure. Since 2012, the tower has officially been named the Elizabeth Tower in honor of Queen Elizabeth II. With its famous chimes and four illuminated clock faces, Big Ben has shaped the London skyline for over 150 years.
Tower Bridge (blue, center)
Tower Bridge is one of the most famous bridges in the world and one of London's best-known landmarks. The neo-Gothic bascule bridge was built to the designs of Sir Horace Jones and John Wolfe Barry and opened in 1894. It spans the River Thames in close proximity to the Tower of London, connecting the boroughs of Tower Hamlets and Southwark. Particularly impressive is its movable central section, which can open in a few minutes for large ships. With its distinctive towers and unique construction, Tower Bridge remains a masterpiece of Victorian engineering to this day.
London Double-Decker Bus (red, right)
The red double-decker bus is one of London's most recognizable symbols and an integral part of the city's streetscape. Its history dates back to the 19th century, while the legendary Routemaster bus shaped the streets of the British capital from 1956 onwards. With its striking red color, two levels, and unmistakable design, the double-decker became a London icon. Even today, modern successors combine tradition and innovation, transporting millions of passengers through the metropolis daily. For visitors, a ride on a London double-decker bus is one of the city's most popular experiences.
