@tripvellatravel: London has a city within a city. The Square Mile — its own mayor, its own police force, a resident population of just 7,500 people surrounded by one of the largest cities on earth. Big Ben is not the name of the clock tower. It’s the name of the 13.5 tonne bell inside it. The tower is called Elizabeth Tower. The Tower of London was built by William the Conqueror in 1070 — a royal palace, a prison, a place of execution and the home of the Crown Jewels. All within the same walls. Beneath London’s streets run over 20 hidden rivers — once flowing above ground, now buried entirely underground. Westminster Abbey is the final resting place of over 3,300 notable figures — Isaac Newton, Charles Dickens and multiple monarchs — all buried beneath a floor you walk across as a tourist. London has been here for 2,000 years. It’s still not done surprising you. #London #UK #TravelTikTok #UnexpectedBeauty #Tripvella
