Hello and welcome to another edition of Look Around London.

Parliament Square, located in the heart of the city, has a rich history as both a political
00:09
and cultural landmark. It was created in the mid-19th century as part of the redevelopment
00:14
of Westminster, designed by architect Sir Charles Barry. The square is best known for
00:19
its proximity to the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, making it a key site for political
00:25
protests and events. Over the years, it has hosted iconic moments from civil rights demonstrations
00:31
to celebrations of national importance. The square is home to several significant statues
00:36
including those of Winston Churchill and Nelson Mandela, reflecting its connection to global
00:42
political history. Today, it remains a vital symbol of democracy, often at the centre of
00:48
political discourse in the UK. Stay here on London TV for more news from across the capital.
