What You'll Discover
Stories from London
Landmarks, hidden histories, and the stories that make this city unforgettable.
Big Ben
Big Ben isn't actually the tower - it's the bell inside. The tower is called Elizabeth Tower. You've probably been calling it wrong your whole life. Don't worry, so has everyone else.
Tower of London
Where they keep the Crown Jewels and used to keep prisoners. Also home to ravens who, according to legend, keep the kingdom from falling. No pressure, birds.
Tower Bridge
Not London Bridge - that one's actually in Arizona now (long story). This one's the fancy one that opens up, and yes, buses have jumped it when it opened unexpectedly.
