“Big Ben” Named Britain’s Favourite ‘Landmark’

"Big Ben” was named the country’s favourite landmark in a survey by construction firm Faithful & Gould to celebrate the engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s 202nd birthday. No big surprises there, but what exactly is it that people love about Big Ben? Maybe something to do with the number of times it’s appeared on TV and the big screen - after all, it was voted the most iconic film location in a recent poll!

Other top 10 landmarks include the London Eye, Houses of Parliament and Buckingham Palace.

London Dungeon - Take a Pumpkin & Get in For Free

What a great idea! Get your kids round the dining room table this year and start carving pumpkins. Why, you ask??? Well, firstly, it’s fun, secondly, Halloween is just round the corner and thirdly, children under 16 will get free entrance to the London Dungeon if they donate their pumpkin (when accompanied by a paying adult). Apparently the Dungeon always runs out of pumpkins & needs your help in keeping things scary for this year’s ‘Halloween Uncut’ season. So, go on - get scared witless at the Dungeons from 13th-31st October and lose your pumpkin, not your head!
