The image presents a wide view of the Palace of Westminster and the Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben) in London, United Kingdom, observed from across the River Thames. In the immediate foreground, a dark grey, granular stone parapet or wall with subtle green moss or discoloration spans the bottom of the frame. The River Thames, appearing murky brown with a rippled surface, occupies the central portion, reflecting the architectural structures. The Palace of Westminster, a large Gothic Revival building of light brown stone, dominates the left and central midground, featuring numerous spires, pinnacles, and windows. The Elizabeth Tower, housing the illuminated clock face of Big Ben, stands prominently on the right side of the palace complex. To the right of the Elizabeth Tower, a dark-colored, multi-story building with a distinctive roofline is visible, followed by the multi-arched Westminster Bridge spanning the river. Further right, traditional urban buildings are discernible. A tall white construction crane is visible against the sky on the far right. The sky is uniformly light grey and overcast. No individuals are distinctly visible within the scene.
