Starting at Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square, you can then head down Whitehall turning left at Parliament Square to head for the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben and Westminster Bridge.

The war memorials (i) to women (left) and (ii) Edward Lutyens' Cenotaph built of Portland stone (right) which is inscribed simply with the words 'The Glorious Dead' in memory of soldiers lost in World War I. The Royal Guards were lining Whitehall because the Queen Elizabeth II ('the Queen') had passed by to open a new session of Parliament (November 2007).

The clock faces of Big Ben - the icon of London Town, the most photographed clock in the world?
