The image depicts the Palace of Westminster and the Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben) in London, United Kingdom, viewed from Westminster Bridge. The foreground features a wet, dark pavement on the bridge, reflecting the dull light, and an ornate, pale green metal railing with a trefoil pattern running along the right side. A black and gold street lamp post with multiple fixtures is visible beyond the railing on the right. The midground is dominated by the Westminster complex. The main building, constructed of light brown stone in a Gothic Revival architectural style, features numerous tall, arched windows, turrets, and pinnacles. It extends along the bank of the River Thames, which is visible on the left side of the image, appearing murky brown. The riverbank immediately adjacent to the building is reinforced with a dark, possibly stone or concrete, retaining wall. Scaffolding covered in dark sheeting is present on a section of the Palace of Westminster near the Elizabeth Tower, indicating ongoing construction or maintenance. The Elizabeth Tower stands prominently to the right of the main palace building, a tall, slender clock tower also constructed of light brown stone, topped with a spire. Its clock faces are visible, displaying the time. The sky is overcast and uniformly light grey, suggesting a cloudy day. In the far distance on the left, along the river, a modern city skyline with several high-rise buildings is faintly visible through the haze. No individuals or specific actions are discernible in the scene. The wet surfaces indicate recent precipitation.
