More about this scene
The cast iron bridge was built in the 1850s, with Sir Charles Barry, the Houses of Parliament architect, acting as consultant. To the right is New Scotland Yard, which was completed in 1890. It is now MPs' offices, and has been named the Norman Shaw Building after its architect. The building opposite Big Ben was demolished in recent years to make way for Portcullis House.
