On a recent trip to London, I stayed at a famous hotel that has a nice view of Big Ben. The hotel was designed such that some of the rooms faced other rooms across an inside courtyard not more than 15 meters wide. The courtyard is designed so when you are waiting for an elevator, it frames Big Ben.
Just like other business trips I have been on I went to dinner that evening with my colleague followed by a walking tour of Big Ben and Buckingham Palace. On the way back to the hotel, we stopped at a small public bar and had several Guinness beers. Finally, we called it a night since we had an early morning train ride down south of London for more business.
