Big Ben, London
The Palace of Westminster is a must visit if you’re heading to London, make sure to catch it at night when it is all lit up. At the moment there is a bit of building work going on, so you’ll have to make sure you get the right angle, but it makes a pretty fab ‘gram if we do say so ourselves.
