View of Parliament Square, Westminster, looking east towards Bridge Street. Straight ahead is the Clock Tower, fondly known as 'Big Ben' after the large bell, and the Houses of Parliament or 'Palace of Westminster' which were completed in 1860 to a Gothic Revival design by architect Sir Charles Barry. The Clock Tower was officially renamed the Elizabeth Tower in 2012 to honour Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee. The Houses of Parliament are Grade I listed; listing number 1226284. To the left there are shops on Bridge Street and above, Harry Fenton's' the men's clothing shop. On the corner with Parliament Street is an advertisement for 'Rael Brook The London Look'. Rael Brook was an English menswear retailer and shirtmaker established in 1948 which produced shirts up to 2022. In the foreground on Parliament Square are three Grade II* listed; listing number 1265876; Field Marshal Jan Smuts sculpted by Jacob Epstein; listing number 1226373, and Edward Stanley, Earl of Derby; listing number 1226372.
