The Houses of Parliament are only a short walk down Whitehall from Trafalgar Square to Parliament Square. The building is stunning from Parliament Square, but it's worth taking a walk over Westminster Bridge and getting the view from the South Bank. Note, Big Ben is actually the name of the bell in the clock tower (St. Stephen's Tower), which chimes every 15 minutes.[qh]
从特拉法格广场到议会广场穿过白厅走一小段就到了议会 。从议会广场看,议会建筑看起来绝美至极,但是穿过维斯特敏斯特桥从南岸看会更好 。注意,大本钟实际上是钟塔上钟的名字,钟塔的名字是圣史蒂芬塔,大本钟没十五分钟响一次 。[qh]
