Also by Big Ben is Westminster Pier, where scheduled river boats ply the River Thames. Most popular/frequent route is to the Tower of London, but you can go as far as Hampton Court during the summer months.The very popular hop on, hop off London tour buses of course also stop at Big Ben. They do a circuit where you can get very good pictures/views from the opposite side of the river.
