Westminster & Big Ben Walk
London, United Kingdom
About This Activity
London's most iconic riverside walk takes in the Palace of Westminster (Houses of Parliament), the Elizabeth Tower housing Big Ben, Westminster Bridge, Westminster Abbey, and the tranquil St James's Park. This self-guided route is entirely free. Westminster Abbey charges £27 for entry (well worth it for coronation history). The walk connects naturally to Buckingham Palace and the Mall.
