Big Ben is a beautiful sight at night

I know I know, it's such a cliche! But Big Ben really is a beautiful structure. Today turned into a gorgeous afteroon and after dinner I hopped on the 211 bus as a way of getting to Westminster to see some of the sights by floodlight.

After leaving the bus at the London Eye stop (that was also impressive at night) I walked across Westminster Bridge back towards Sloane Square. I took some photos but they are not very good.

You cannot help but admire the clocktower and clockface. I heard it strike 11:00 from quite closeby and felt the reverberation of each strike - a feeling I won't forget.
