Places to visit in London
☆The Thames 
It runs through London, dividing the city into two parts. It’s interesting to take a trip on the river. This way, you can see almost every place of interest in London.
☆Big Ben
May 31, 2019 is the 160th birthday of the largest four-faced clock in the world—Big Ben. It isn’t the name of the tower itself but the 13-ton bell inside it. Every hour, it “bongs” the number of the hour to tell the time.
