The statue of the admiral decorates the top of the column. The main building of Trafalgar Square is the National Gallery. A great many tourists visit the gallery. It was opened in 1838.

The Clock Tower of the Houses of Parliament is famous for its big hour Bell, known as “Big Ben”. Big Ben is named after Sir Benjamin Hall. In fact Big Ben is really the name of the bell in the tower, not of the clock. ( slide 7)
