I loved the view of the parliament when I got out from the Abbey.. but what made me in love with it the most was the beautiful lights that sparkled in the evening.

historic and vintage design ! The Big ben is really a tourist attraction, it should be preserved no matter what :-)

The Houses of Parliament, or officially, the Palace of Westminster, is to Britons what the Capitol in Washington, D.C., is to Americans. While it may not look quite as majestic without the dome (see St. Paul's Cathedral), it is just as imposing, especially when viewed from across the Thames, or while on the river itself.
