Tower Bridge & Big Ben

I had backed from Frankfurt to London.  I went to sight seeing in London, because I had a spare time.  I do not remember whether I visited to Tower Bridge and Big Ben 15 years ago.  At that time, I joined the group tour, so I had to go though by bus quickly.  London Bridge and Big Ben was so beautiful and massive more than I had expected.  I went up to the top of Tower Bridege ( http://www.towerbridge.org.uk/TBE/EN/ ) which was built in 1894, the height of Bridge is 40m.  I also visited Tower of London (  http://www.hrp.org.uk/TowerOfLondon/ ) was built in 11 s.c.  We could see the Crown Jewels, The Cullinan Diamond, called The Great Star of Africa which is the largest diamond in the world, 530.20 carats.  The Great Britain in the Age of Geographical Discovery is over my imagination.   Big Ben ( http://www.parliament.uk/about/living-heritage/building/palace/big-ben/ ) was completed as Gothic Revival Architecture in 1854.  The architecture and sunset view was so beautiful, I did not have any words to express.  We can see the many artistic and traditional buildings everywhere, and London is mixed with both traditional and modern buildings nowadays.  The Victoria and Albert museum ( http://www.vam.ac.uk/ ) was also interesting.  We could see the correction from the world such as  Jewelry,  furniture, carpet and fashion.

Thank you for your reading to the end.
