Known about this for a while, this was my first chance to see this rarity!

Visible through the mesh fencing as you walk down into Westminster station subway. Overlooked by CCTV cameras so didn't fancy trying to get a photo!

E face NE angle of base of clock tower. At S exit to Westminster Underground. Visible thru security mesh, 2m back, where staircase turns. Tube Sta large with many exits, but they are numbered, and good maps on display. Easily seen at night, although not its blankness.

Easily missed.You have to descend the stairs to the subway and before you enter the tunnel on your left at the base of the Clock Tower that contains Big Ben.This is the FB.(The Holy Grail of FB's).
On the internet there are several sites comparing the partial movement of Big Ben with the leaning Tower of Pisa,could the blank FB be a "Spur" from the GL to check movement.So far I have found no info to prove or disprove this theory.

Strange one, it appears the number's and letters where never there. Looking more closely at it there appears to be indentations where the letters should be, suggesting it just didnt have the letters layed in the mould?
