A view across the Thames from The Queen's Walk. On the opposite side of the river, the illuminated Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben*) is an unmistakable landmark on the horizon.

*Big Ben is the nickname for the great bell of the clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster. The name has, by common usage, come to be accepted as representing the clock and the 320 foot high Clock Tower. It is the largest four-faced chiming clock and the third-tallest free-standing clock tower in the world and is probably one of the best known landmarks in the UK. The clock tower is now officially known as Elizabeth Tower, having been renamed to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II in 2012.
