	*England*
The Tower of London and the Crown Jewels (as shown to the right) is one of the most famous and historic places in London. Everyone from royalty to prisoners and traitors were in the tower and it was home to every monarch, like Henry the VIII. As exquisite as it's royal rooms and towers may be, it is in fact known for it's prison. The bloody tower was once where Prince Edward V and his brother were imprisoned and Sir Walter Raleigh spent 13 years of his life in that historical tower!
		Stonehenge (as shown to the left) dates back from 3100-2300 BC. Mainly, it was built about 5000 years ago. Now these sandstones that could weigh up to 50 tons, are as perplexing to a graduate as they are to a simpleton. Although some theories have been made... They were used as a temple for worship to the deities It was used as an observatory for the prehistoric calendar It was used as a burial for "high-ranking" citizens of the time.
The London Bridge (as shown to the right) is actually known as the Tower Bridge. It has stood over the River Thames in London since 1894. In order to permit the passage of ships and boats, a mere five minutes in required to open the bascules. This remarkable bridge is in fact steel even though it is often mistaken as a stone bridge.
		The Big Ben (as shown to the right of the parliament in the picture to the left) is a beautiful structure. The bell was built in 1858 by Sir Benjamin Hall and it was the largest bell ever built in it's time. At every hour, this grand clock plays the full chime from Handel's Messiah.
The London Eye (as shown to the right) is the world's largest observation wheel. It is 135 meters high and it remarkably represents the elements of air, water, earth and time. This ride is a 30 minute ride to give an amazing view of London.
