Buckingham PalacePass-by Only
The first records of Buckingham Palace date back to 1701, when it was known as Buckingham House. It was leased from Parliament by the Duke of Buckingham, who was known as Lord all Pride because of his arrogance! Unbeknown to many, when he avoided to pay the architect, the latter threatened to throw the Duke and his wife off the top of the building.
Tower of London
The Tower of London is officially known as Her Majesty’s Royal Palace and Fortress of the Tower of London. The castle has been used as a prison from 1100 (Ranulf Flambard) to 1952 (the Kray Twins). Early on it was not just a prison but a grand Palace, and served as a Royal residence. The Tower of London is officially known as Her Majesty’s Royal Palace and Fortress of the Tower of London. The castle has been used as a prison from 1100 (Ranulf Flambard) to 1952 (the Kray Twins). Early on it was not just a prison but a grand Palace, and served as a Royal residence. There were several phases of expansion, mainly under King Richard I, Henry III, and Edward I, in the 12th and 13th centuries AD. Despite some alterations, the layout today is similar to that of the 13th century. The Tower has also been a menagerie, used for the King’s Wardrobe, and also used for gunpowder storage.
Big Ben
Big Ben is the nickname for the Great Bell of the clock, situated at the north end of the Palace of Westminster, although it is commonly used to refer to the bell, the clock, and the clock tower. The official name of the tower was The Clock Tower, but it was renamed The Elizabeth Tower in 2012 to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. Designed by Augustus Pugin in the Gothic Revival look, Big Ben opened in 1859 and remains one of the most iconic buildings in London.
