    4:50 The long building you can see is Westminster Hall, the oldest surviving part of the Palace of Westminster, it was built in 1097 in the reign of king William II. The timber hammer beam roof, commissioned by king Richard in 1393, measures 68' by 240' is the largest medieval timber roof in northern Europe.

    The nickname for the bell is big ben 13.5 ton in weight. The tower is Elizabeth tower. And probably even our brothers don't know this fact but. All four nations of the UK are represented on the tower. On the shields on the tower. Featuring a rose for England, thistle for Scotland, shamrock for Ireland, and leek for Wales. And you was on Tower bridge by the tower of London where they keep the crown jewels. Jordan just thought I'd let you know the old London Bridge gateway. In 1300-1660 Traitors/Criminals heads was chopped off dipped in tar and put on a spike on the gateway to the bridge. We sold old London Bridge to USA Arazona.

    That was a hot long walk to the Tower.
    From your first intersection you could have taken a double decker bus for just £1.75.
    And we dont pay 30 dollars for our food.
    We can eat like a king for less than £10, but you need to consult with local people - not just walk into the first place you come across where the only people that you'll see eating there are tourists!!!!!!!

It’s actually called the “Banqueting House”, but you can go inside ( I think it’s free) and see an amazing painted ceiling by Flemish artist, Sir Peter Paul Rubens………It’s one of the last thing the king would have seen before the chop. Another thing, if you’re on a budget, remember most museums and galleries are free, so take advantage of them, they’re some of the best in the wold.
