Cleopatra's Needle, 7/10

Cleopatra's Needle is a must-see along the Thames River, but is rather tucked in and easy to miss if you're not specifically looking for it.

The obelisk wasn't Cleopatra's, but is very old. Cleopatra was the name of the steamship that carried it to England, a very perilous and costly venture.





From the Needle, it's not too far to the Parliament Building. About the building you'll see several nifty statues, including ones of Richard I, Thomas Cromwell, a Renoir, and the immortal Boudicca.
