Online shopping is a modern way of buying everything you want from your home. It has become very popular and it seems to be much better to choose clothes, shoes and accessories without spending hours in a shopping centre.

Apart from saving time, you can also find same things online but they often cost less than they do in a mall. However, you may have doubts about the size. Luckily, most online shops give detailed information about sizes and even offer some online assistance.

In addition, when you shop online you may find whatever you need in one clic, even if there are thousands of items on the website. You can use filters and select only those kinds that interest you. You may also choose a colour, a style and sometimes a brand.

Moreover, online shopping gives you the opportunity to be aware of special offers, sales and discounts. Online shops may send you messages or e-mails, thus, you will be able to receive this information any time and any place.

Nevertheless, online shopping has also its weak points that stop many people from online purchasing. You can’t see whether the dress or other thing looks like on the picture on the website, you can’t be sure about the purity of the colour, about the quality of the material, etc.

However, there are many online shops now that let you see and even try clothes and pay afterwards only if the thing fits and suits you. That makes you feel more relaxed and assured.

Perhaps even small children know what a Big Ben is. Firstly, it’s the symbol of Great Britain and one of the most beautiful sights of London. Secondly, it’s the largest and the most famous clock in the world. Originally, Big Ben is a tower. It’s one of the highest towers of Westminster Palace. Officially, the clock has started its work on 31 May 1859. According to one of the theories the clock has been named Big Ben after Sir Benjamin Hall, who directed work on the casting of the bell. Another theory claims that it has been named after Benjamin Caunt, who was one of the well-known heavyweight boxers of the 19th century. Surprisingly, the tower of Big Ben used to be a prison where over riotous parliamentarians were kept. Big Ben has become a popular souvenir for tourists. Almost all visitors of London buy a small souvenir in the shape of the world-famous clock. Also Big Ben can be often seen in famous films and ads. Official name of the tower is the “Westminster Palace Clock Tower” or “St. Stephen's Tower”. Big Ben is only the name of the clock itself along with the bell. The history of Big Ben dates back to 1288, when it was built for the first time on Ralph De Hengham’s money. He was the chairman of the Supreme Court of Queen's Bench. However, the contemporary tower of Big Ben was built according to Charles Barry’s project in the 19th century, as the old building was destroyed due to the fire of 1834. Although Big Ben is very popular with spectators, no one is allowed inside of the tower. All the Londoners who live close to Big Ben can hear how the bell strikes thirteen at New Year’s Night.
