📌 Wander Details: Step into the heart of London with us as Micha and I wander from the historic Parliament Square Gardens, right beside Sir Winston Churchill’s statue, past the iconic Big Ben, over the River Thames, then finishing alongside the world-famous London Eye…

It was a perfect day for people-watching in London, street performers, curious tourists, and the vibrant city buzz... This was my first time seeing Big Ben after its restoration, and it truly looked beautiful in the afternoon light… And, just when I thought the day couldn’t get more memorable, I had a surprise encounter with Charlie Chaplin!

Filmed on 31st May 2025, right after our visit to Camden Market, this walk is a slice of London life, full of charm, colour, and character.

The bronze statue of Sir Winston Churchill was unveiled in 1973 and is one of the square’s most photographed landmarks.

“Big Ben” is actually the nickname for the Great Bell, the clock tower itself was renamed the Elizabeth Tower in 2012 to mark Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee.

The clock face is made of 312 individual pieces of opal glass.
