> The London
is incorrect. It is simply "London". A few place names and countries do have the definite article in English ("The Hague", "The Netherlands", "The United States"), and these unfortunately have to be looked up individually.
The Palace of Westminster - correct
*The Tower Brige - incorrect
Tower Brige - correct
The Tower of London - correct
*The Westminster Abbey - incorrect
Westminster Abbey - correct
*The Buckingham Palace -incorrect
Buckingham Palace - correct
The British Museum
The National Gallery
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any obvious rule (you would expect "The Tower Bridge", but that's unacceptable!), and these famonames simply have to be looked up.

I don't like the word "emblematic". You could of course use the word "famous", or "well-known".
In this case, the word "iconic" would be fine. This word has been much over-used in the press and on TV recently, and journalists seem to be turning it into something meaning simply "well-known"/"famous". Of course an icon is an image of something that is so well known and so easily recognised that it can stand for a whole category (example, "the Eiffel Tower" iconic symbol of Paris or even France). A picture of Tower Bridge or the Palace of Westminster could easily make people think of London as a whole, so the word "iconic" seems to be fine here. But it is being very much overused at the moment, so beware. :-)
