The Monday List

By Jove, Old Bean! The Ten Most Cliched Stock Images Of London

A woman standing on Westminster Bridge with the Houses of Parliament in the background
The bell tower everyone thinks is called Big Ben, but it isn't
A row of red telephone boxes, strangely without any "tarts' cards" visible on the windows
A night time street scene with light trails to suggest London is always on the move
Those sky scraper office blocks in the City that all have ridiculous names like The Walkie-Talkie, The Cheese Grater, and Deric
Buckingham Palace, the Queen not pictured
A Routemaster bus driving around Piccadilly Circus
The London Eye
The London Eye, but at night
Nelson's chuffing Column
