London

Originally founded by the Romans over 2,000 years ago,

London has grown to become the cultural and economic

capital of Britain and one of the world’s truly global cities.

Famous for its finance, fashion and arts industries, London

is the world’s most visited city and also one of its most

culturally diverse; more than 300 languages are spoken by

its population of over 8.5 million people.

Standing on the River Thames, London’s skyline reflects

both the city’s diverse and colorful past and its continued

ambition to embrace bold, modern architectural statements.

[ “When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life;

for there is in London all that life can afford.” ]

Samuel Johnson

From the very start, the aim of the National Gallery was

to ensure that the widest public possible could enjoy

its collection. When Parliament agreed to pay for the

construction of a new gallery in 1831, there were lengthy

discussions about where the building should be located.

Trafalgar Square was eventually chosen, as it was considered

to be at the very center of the city and therefore accessible

by all classes of London society. Construction began in 1832

and the new gallery was ﬁnally completed in 1838.

The building has been enlarged and altered many times as

the National Gallery’s collection grew and today holds over

2,300 works of art. Over six million people visit the Gallery

every year to enjoy works by Leonardo da Vinci, Vincent Van

Gogh and J.M.W. Turner.

Nelson’s Column

Big Ben

The 169 ft. (51.6 m) column stands in front of the National

Gallery in Trafalgar Square and was erected between 1840

and 1843 to commemorate the British naval hero Admiral

Horatio Nelson, who died at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.

The pedestal upon which the column stands is decorated

with four bronze reliefs; each one is 18 ft. (5.5 m) square and

cast from captured French guns.

Big Ben (the Great Bell), oﬃcially known as the Elizabeth

Tower (formerly known as the Clock Tower and renamed in

2012 in honor of Queen Elizabeth’s Diamond Jubilee), has

stood at the northeastern corner of the Palace of Westminster

for over 150 years. The 316 ft. (96.3 m) neo-gothic styled tower

is one of the most recognized and photographed landmarks

in London today and an integral part of the city’s skyline.

The tower’s clock mechanism is wound by hand three

times a week and is still as accurate today as when it was

constructed over 150 years ago.

Opened in 2000 to mark the new millennium, the London

Eye is still the world’s largest cantilevered observation wheel.

With a height of 443 ft. (135 m), this remarkable feat of design

and engineering has become the UK’s most popular paid

attraction, with 3.75 million visitors every year. On a clear day

it is possible to see up to 25 miles (40.2 km) in the distance

from the top of the wheel.

Originally intended as a temporary structure, the London Eye

is now a permanent ﬁxture of the London skyline and an

iconic symbol of modern London.
