If you only have time for one thing while visiting London, then the Westminster area is your safest bet. It has one of the highest concentration of London’s historic and prestigious landmarks including the world famous Big Ben part of the house of Parliament, the Westminster Abbey the place of coronation of British monarchs and Downing Street, home of the British First Minister. Westminster is indeed the centre of the British politics with the siege of the government and other important political buildings such as the treasury and the Scottish Office. Since the rule of King Canute who first build his palace on this swampy location to the fight of Winston Churchill during Second World War, Westminster was always identified as a place of politics and power.
