Westminster Abbey (10 to 1)

Westminster Abbey is the most important, next to the Canterbury Cathedral and the St. Paul in the City of London, Anglican temple.

The abbey, from William the Conqueror, is the site of the coronation of the kings of England and Great Britain, with the exception of Edward V and Edward VIII, who were not crowned. From the thirteenth century, the abbey is also the burial place of kings and meritorious people.

It is also a wedding venue for  the famous royal family members:

Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip

Prince William and Kate Middleton

About 3300 dead are buried in the abbey. Among them are eminent poets and writers, musicians, actors, scholars, politicians and architects. In addition, there are more than 600 commemorative plaques dedicated to outstanding people unburied in the abbey. The first poet buried in Westminster Abbey was Geoffrey Chaucer in the year 1400.

Legend says that the first church in this place was made in the early Middle Ages when the local fisherman revealed himself to Saint Peter. 

This was the reason for the present call. Historians, however, are divided in attempts to date the origins of the oldest temple - it is said about the VII, VIII or even the tenth century. Certainly, the Benedictine order appeared here relatively early, with which Westminster was associated until the rise of Anglicanism. And above Parliament rises London's famous clock tower - Big Ben. Its four faces face north, south, east and west. But Big Ben is not really the name of the clock. It's the name of the bell inside the clock.
