A tourist hotspot because of its proximity to the Houses of Parliament, & the South Bank which is home to the London Eye, the London Aquarium & other attractions. If you are lucky with the weather, it’s a great place for photos.

This is the best place to take a picture of Big Ben imo. It is quite busy so take a quick picture..

You can rest at the end of the bridge by the river. Also a good location to take pictures.

Try the hotdogs they sell along the bridge!

What a view! I went there per pedes and enjoyed the outstanding outlook on the Houses of Parliament with the bell tower ("Big Ben") and also London Eye. I always go there when I am in London. Absolute recommendation!

Great view to Big Ben with is the nickname for the Great Bell not the tower nor the clock as public known originally name is the Clock Tower, but it was renamed Elizabeth Tower in 2012 , you can see from the bridge also London Eye and house of parliament

Iconic place as you can see the Parliament house, Big Ben and the London Eye all from this bridge. Weekend is always busy but weekdays are normally easier to capture some nice pics without too many people.

Definitely don’t miss this, you have Westminster on one side, London eye the other and it’s absolutely beautiful. The bridge itself is so pretty and has a lovely view

Definitely the most favourite photo spot in London. Beautiful photo of Big Ben, Parliamentary Building, and the London Eye can be taken from here. Full of tourists too of course.

One of my favourable places in London. You get to see all the iconic landmarks just standing there. Summer would be the best period for photo-taking, but the location is great all year round. A must-visit.

Great Bridge, great place to have the view of the iconic London eye and the River Thames. This was my 3rd visit to London and in every visit, I came to this bridge to do the photo session of London eye, River Thames, Big Ben and Palace of Westminster. Enjoyed every bit. My wife and my daughter also enjoyed their time here.

Westminster Bridge is an iconic bridge in London, United Kingdom that crosses over the River Thames.

It's located in central London and connects the area around the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben to the South Bank.

The bridge itself is a beautiful piece of architecture and provides stunning views of some of London's most famous landmarks, including the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, the London Eye, and the South Bank.

In addition to the views, Westminster Bridge also has a lot of history. It was opened in 1862 and has since been renovated and updated multiple times.

Overall, Westminster Bridge is definitely worth a visit if you're in London.

I had an amazing time at Westminster Bridge! This iconic landmark offers breathtaking views of the River Thames, the Houses of Parliament, and the London Eye. Whether you're a history buff, a photographer, or just looking for a relaxing stroll, Westminster Bridge is a must-visit destination in London.

The bridge itself is beautifully designed and well-maintained, with plenty of space for pedestrians and cyclists. I especially enjoyed taking in the views of Big Ben and the Palace of Westminster, which look especially stunning at night when they are illuminated.

Overall, I highly recommend a visit to Westminster Bridge if you're in London. It's a great spot to take in the city's beauty and history, and the perfect place to snap some memorable photos. Don't miss out on this fantastic attraction!
