What famous buildings are in this London Cityscape?

[An Exception]

I don't know London very well, but I was wondering people can help me with which famous building/landmarks are fairly prominent in the below picture. I'm trying to find some good 'key words'.
I Know Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament but that's about it.

St Paul's Cathedral, Battersea Power Station. River Thames too if that counts (probably not).

Westminster Abbey.

Not in that photo (other than the thames).

Westminster abbey and westminster central hall are the only other ones I know that can be seen.

St Paul's isn't but Battersea Power Station certainly is.

You are indeed correct. My bad LOL.

 

[Rroff]

St Pauls is 180 degrees behind the position of the photo - your right though about Battersea.

The building I said was St Paul's is the Methodist Central Hall, Westminster.

Big Ben is not visible in this photo.

If you have a tall thin object blocking the middle of the photo on your screen then this is true.

Whatabout Portcullis House, I hear it has a nice fig tree in it.

I think hes alluding to it being the bell.

 

[Hotwired]

True but it is common to refer to the tower as Big Ben.

 

[PistolPete]

Common != Correct.

It's correct name is now the Elizabeth Tower and a true fact about it is that the minute hands on the clock faces are so heavy that it takes an hour for them to do 1 rotation.

You could try using Google Maps to identify the buildings around Parliament.

Looks like you've got a bit of Parliament Square, and also The Supreme Court and St. Margaret's Church (which is to the left of the Bus at the base of Westminster Abbey).
