Stuart EcclesOctober 8, 2009The chimes of big ben are played live on Radio4. If you stand at Parliment Square listening to the radio in one ear and the actual chimes in the other, you hear them on radio first
Carlo MDecember 17, 2012Look up after getting out of the Westminster tube station. This'll be the first thing you'll see.

GowithOhMarch 28, 2013Hey everybody! Don't forget that the clocks jump forward an hour this Saturday night!
anizAHM majidDecember 21, 2012Beware of beggars (fat ugly women) who wait for people by the stairs. They'll trick u with handmade flowers n ask for money to feed the 'homeless child'. They only want papers not coins :)
Holly BassettAugust 7, 2014It's quite a sight to crane your neck at when you come out of Westminster Tube Station.

"Best place to stay in London. The back is actually a 5* hotel, but you'll need to book months in advance, or know a royal."
