Slight correction; - Big Ben is actually the bell in the tower. The Tower everyone assumes is Big Ben isn fact Elizabeth Tower.
Common mistake even most British call the tower Big Ben.
Same as our flag, it is officially the Union Flag. NOT the Union Jack! It is only when it is flown on the jack (flag staff at the bow) of a Royal Navy ship should it be referred to as a Union Jack!
Plus a lot of people, again even British 'fly' it upside down. The red (diagonal) cross is offset against the Scottish white cross (Saltaire) making a broader white band on top, flown next to the flagpole. I get very angry when British people especially, fly it upside down out of sheer ignorance.
An upside down flown flag is an internationally recognised signal that you are in distress.
Nice shot by the way! Been on the London eye myself (at night even better when the city is illuminated especially at dusk)
A proud Englishman!
