Look kids, Big Ben, Parliament!
Four days in London. I can't really decide if it was too short or too long. I do know that I should have gone to Bath or somewhere other than London for one day. Sometimes the trip was great, when I stood in the Golden Gallery of St. Paul's and could see the whole of London while walking around the dome. I forgot my camera that day so unfortunately I didn't get any photos. Sometimes the trip was lousy, when Parliament, Westminster Abbey, and St. Marten in the Field were all closed the day I went to see them. But, I did get to see some amazing things, such as the actual Rosetta Stone at the British Museum and, pictured below, Big Ben and Parliament.

Did you dangle from the hour hand?

Aw, sorry that one day provided so many closed signs. I'd totally forgotten about St. Marten in the Field! My mom and I went there together and did brass rubbings. She had one of hers nicely framed and I have that in my possession now.
As far as another city...I'd vote Oxford...or Salisbury.

As a Londoner, I am going to be biased, but as a British citizen I think I can honestly say that Big Ben is one of the most iconic structures anywhere in the world and you would be hard pressed to find anyone who couldn't tell you what it was called and where it is located. It makes a great picture, whatever your views about its status in the world.
