Je vais visiter le Parlement de Londres ce matin (Réservation sur internet obligatoire), en attendant je revisite la place Centrale de Westminster.
J'ai une magnifique vue sur Big Ben, avec une vue sur la grande statue de Winston Churchill et les Bus à Impériale Londoniens.
Sur cette Place, on trouve également de nombreuses statues et stelles historiques, surtout Gandhi, Mandela et Abraham Lincoln.
