We also visit Trafalgar Squere, there is the National Gallery wich is a museum of art, and the lions of the Nelson Column.

One thing that made us exited was see the Big Ben because is very popular monument, and all the people know it.

Something typical of there, are the taxis and buses which are completely diferent from ours.

New the Big Ben is the London eye, you can see a spectacular views.
