Near Tate Britain
Westminster Abbey 0.9 km
A Gothic abbey church where 40 English and British monarchs have been crowned since 1066 and 18 are buried. At least 16 royal weddings have been held under its vaulted nave, and its floors and chapels are crowded with the tombs and memorials of poets, scientists and statesmen.
Palace of Westminster 1.0 km
The Gothic Revival riverside home of the House of Commons and the House of Lords, which give it its everyday name. Its clock tower at the north end holds the bell called Big Ben, and the long Thames frontage is one of the most recognised views in London.
Big Ben 1.1 km
Strictly the nickname of the Great Bell inside the clock tower at the north end of the Palace of Westminster, though everyone uses it for the tower too. Once simply the Clock Tower, it was renamed the Elizabeth Tower in 2012 for Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee.
Churchill War Rooms 1.2 km
An underground complex beneath Whitehall that housed a British government command centre through the Second World War, kept much as it was left. Part of the Imperial War Museum, it also holds a museum on the life of Winston Churchill.
St James's Park 1.4 km
A 23 hectare Royal Park in Westminster, first enclosed as a deer park for Henry VIII in the 1530s. Its lake is home to pelicans, and the bridge across it gives views of Buckingham Palace at one end and Whitehall at the other.
Imperial War Museum London 1.4 km
The London home of a national museum founded in 1917 to record the British and imperial effort of the First World War. Its remit has since grown to cover every conflict involving British or Commonwealth forces since 1914, and a pair of naval guns stands outside its domed building.
London Eye 1.5 km
A giant observation wheel on the South Bank, opened for the millennium and still the most visited paid attraction in Britain. Its glass capsules turn slowly enough to step into while moving, and from the top the Thames, Westminster and the City lie spread out below.
Buckingham Palace 1.5 km
The London home and working headquarters of the British monarch, in the City of Westminster. Crowds gather at its railings for state occasions and the Changing of the Guard, and the balcony above the forecourt is where the royal family appears on great days.
