How Leonardo DiCaprio Sidesteps London Traffic Jams
Leonardo DiCaprio has apparently found a unique solution to avoid London’s notorious traffic congestion, different from the usual early morning rush-hour struggles.
According to a report by The Sun, the acclaimed Academy Award-winning actor has been spotted utilizing a Range Rover displaying diplomatic license plates for his travels within the city in recent weeks. This discreet vehicle, complete with tinted windows, is said to be associated with a diplomat hailing from the Ivory Coast.
It’s worth noting that while diplomatic vehicles are expected to adhere to UK traffic regulations, enforcement of these rules is often lenient when it comes to embassy vehicles.
Why is Big Ben called Big Ben?
Big Ben, located at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London, is a world-famous tower clock and one of the most iconic landmarks in Britain. Named after Sir Benjamin Hall, who was responsible for its installation in 1858, Big Ben stands at almost 100 meters tall and has become a symbol of the British nation. Although it is officially known as the Clock Tower, it has become more commonly referred to as Big Ben.

Why is the Tower bridge so famous?
Tower Bridge is a world-famous landmark and symbol of London, due to its iconic Neo-Gothic design featuring two grand towers connected by two walkways. The bridge was designed by architect Sir Horace Jones and civil engineer Sir John Wolfe Barry, who sought to create a bridge that would be both aesthetically pleasing and permit the passage of ships up the Thames.
