You are standing on St Margaret Street, just outside the Palace of Westminster.
The part of the Palace closest to you is Westminster Hall, which is much older than the rest of the building. It was built in 1097, over 900 years ago.
Over on the other side of the road, the building on your left is the east end of Westminster Abbey.
You should just be able to see Big Ben in the distance.
Have you seen these interesting locations?
Big Ben   Victoria Station   The Cutty Sark   Regents Park in Spring   Buckingham Palace  
Underground Nearest Tube is Westminster or Embankment

I stumbled onto your site and wanted to say Thank You for putting it out there! I lived in London for a short time (in Shepherd's Bush near Holland Park). Your site gave me the London fix that I needed. Fabulous pictures of real scenes. Thank you, again. from Lois Cowan, US - 5 May 2000

Hi Max. Nice website. I'm coming out to London in two weeks so I thought it was pretty cool to see a few things ahead of time. Though I do wish you would have had a castle. Have fun traveling! from actres@aol.com, USA - 5 May 2000

I really enjoyed seeing London again. I have visited 3 times. I loved the way the pictures moved. Just like being there. Take somemore. Madam Trusoes and the doungon scenes would be nice. I hope to visit when I retire and just live in London and see all of the area. Really great.I loved the pictures of London. r223ro from ROSEBERRY@ZEBRA.NET, AMERICA USA - 13 May 2000

It would be extremely helpful if the VRLondon website was available in at least French, German and Japanese, as well as Spanish and Korean. We have a lot of French friends who would benefit from this improvement. Other languages could perhaps follow. The website is well conceived and is, after all, intended for all tourists to London. Keep up the good work. Rob Whiffen from robwhiffen@netscapeonline.co.uk, England - 18 Mar 2002

I ewnt to London some twenty years ago. Now, I'm working on a fiction where some parts are happening in London, by the end of the 19th century. Looking to some specific parts of London, I found your site and must congraculate you for the fact I found some quick responses to what I wanted to write. Even if the atmosphere shall be somewhat different of what it was in those remote times, it gave me a good idea of the london life and permits me to describe your beautiful buildings as Big Ben or others. Thanks and continue (extend!) your good job. from janinec@videotron.ca, France and Canada - 27 Nov 2002
