Big Ben

Big Ben, officially called the Elizabeth Tower, is one of the most famous landmarks in London and a must-see for any visitor. The impressive clock in the heart of the British capital attracts millions of tourists every year and is a symbol of British history, culture, and architecture. Those on a convertible tour in England can experience the sights of London in a special way – and Big Ben often serves as the perfect starting or ending point for a city route.

Discovering Big Ben and its Surroundings

Big Ben is located right next to the Palace of Westminster and together with the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Bridge, it forms one of the most iconic photo backdrops in London. Visitors exploring the city should also check out the surrounding area: nearby are Westminster Abbey, St. James's Park, and the Thames, all easily reachable on foot. This combination of culture, architecture, and nature makes the area around Big Ben particularly attractive, whether you're walking or taking a break after a long ride in the convertible.
