On the bridge is a statue of Boadicea.
When I was growing up that's what we called her anyway, pronounced bo-deh-SEE-a.
Now she's called Boudica, pronounced BOO-dicka.
I assume it's a more correct reckoning, but it doesn't feel as nice in my mouth.

She was a warrior queen anyway - fought against the Romans. A heroine for many warlike schoolgirls.

The clock tower. More commonly known as Big Ben, but as has been mentioned before, this is the name of the bell (yeah, I call it Big Ben too)
