Tower Bridge

• Tower Bridge (built 1886-1894) is a
  combined bascule and suspension bridge in London,
  England, over the River Thames. It is close to
  the Tower of London, from which it takes its
  name. It has become an iconic symbol of London.
• The bridge consists of two towers tied together
  at the upper level by means of two horizontal
  walkways, designed to withstand the horizontal
  forces exerted by the suspended sections of the
  bridge on the landward sides of the towers. The
  vertical component of the forces in the suspended
  sections and the vertical reactions of the two
  walkways are carried by the two robust towers.
  The bascule pivots and operating machinery are
  housed in the base of each tower. The bridge's
  present colour scheme dates from 1977, when it
  was painted red, white and blue for the Queen
  Elizabeth II's silver jubilee. Originally it was
  painted a mid greenish-blue colour.

Parliament building from Big Ben Clock Tower

• The Palace of Westminster, also known as the
  Houses of Parliament or Westminster Palace, is
  the meeting place of the two houses of the
  Parliament of the United Kingdomthe House of
  Lords and the House of Commons. It lies on the
  north bank of the River Thames in the heart of
  the London borough of the City of Westminster,
  close to the historic Westminster Abbey and the
  government buildings of Whitehall and Downing
  Street. The name may refer to either of two
  structures the Old Palace, a medieval building
  complex, most of which was destroyed in 1834, and
  its replacement New Palace that stands today. The
  palace retains its original style and status as a
  royal residence for ceremonial purposes. At the
  northern end of the palace appears Big Ben clock
  tower.

Windsor Castle

• Windsor Castle is a medieval castle and royal
  residence in Windsor in the English county
  of Berkshire, notable for its long association
  with the British royal family and for its
  architecture. The original castle was built after
  the Norman invasion by William the Conqueror.
  Since the time of Henry I it has been used by a
  succession of monarchs and is the
  longest-occupied palace in Europe. The castle's
  lavish, early 19th-century State Apartments are
  architecturally significant, described by art
  historian Hugh Roberts as "a superb and
  unrivalled sequence of rooms widely regarded as
  the finest and most complete expression of later
  Georgian taste". The castle includes the
  15th-century St George's Chapel, considered by
  historian John Robinson to be "one of the supreme
  achievements of English Perpendicular Gothic"
  design. More than five hundred people live and
  work in Windsor, making it the largest inhabited
  castle in the world.

The Gothic cathedral in Winchester

• Winchester Cathedral is a Church of
  England cathedral situated in Winchester, Hampshir
  e, England. The cathedral is one of the
  largest cathedrals in England, with the
  longest nave and greatest overall length of
  any Gothic cathedral in Europe. Dedicated to the
  Holy Trinity, Saint Peter, Saint Paul, and Saint
  Swithun, it is the seat of the Bishop of
  Winchester and centre of the Diocese of
  Winchester. The cathedral is a Grade I listed
  cathedral.

Cantebury

• Canterbury  is a historic English cathedral city,
  which lies at the heart of the City of
  Canterbury, a district of Kent in South East
  England. It lies on the River Stour.
• Originally a Brythonic settlement, it was
  renamed Durovernum Cantiacorum by the Roman
  conquerors in the 1st century AD. After it became
  the chief Jutish settlement, it gained its
  English name Canterbury, itself derived from
  the Old English Cantwareburh ("Kent people's
  stronghold"). After the Kingdom of
  Kent's conversion to Christianity in 597, St
  Augustine founded an episcopal see in the city
  and became the first Archbishop of Canterbury, a
  position that now heads the Church of England and
  the worldwide Anglican Communion(though the
  modern-day Province of Canterbury covers the
  entire south of England). Thomas Becket's murder
  at Canterbury Cathedral in 1170 led to the
  cathedral becoming a place of pilgrimage for
  Christians worldwide. This pilgrimage provided
  the theme for Geoffrey Chaucer's 14th-century
  literary classic The Canterbury Tales. The
  literary heritage continued with the birth of the
  playwright Christopher Marlowe in the city in the
  16th century.

Merton College,Oxford

• Merton College is one of the constituent
  colleges of the University of Oxford in England.
  Its foundation can be traced back to the 1260s
  when Walter de Merton, chancellor to Henry
  III and later to Edward I, first drew up statutes
  for an independent academic community and
  established endowments to support it. The
  important feature of Walter's foundation was that
  this "college" was to be self-governing and that
  the endowments were directly vested in the Warden
  and Fellows.
