The thread title says it: Imperial World View is represented by Big Ben - at least in my AoD (1.04) version.

This is actually WAD. Imperial World View fits the UK, as designed; it represents the outlook that considers defence as a combined Empire, not as a parochial 'Homeland' with "owned nations". The British High Command mostly thought this way - which is a primary reason they wanted to avoid war (Britain stood to gain nothing from a war, but stood to lose an Empire - which, indeed, it did as a result of WW2).
Conciliatory is really closer to the French view that, having been bled dry by WW1, another war was unthinkable. It's true that France had a strain of Imperial World View as well, but Conciliatory represents ths political ennui and disarray of 1930's France rather better.
Imperial World View, to be clear, is a world view of a nation that already has an Empire, not of a nation that wants to build one - Frustrated Expansionist is designed for that.

Oh, then it's okay.
EDIT: And now Defensive World View shows the Basilius Cathedral. How does that make sense?
The Eiffel Tower was fine IMO.

Defensive WV represents the strain in Russian (and consequently USSR) thinking that sees itself as vulnerable in that it is surrounded by enemies on all sides. Russia has historically sought an Empire all around its borders because this will act as a buffer in protecting the motherland from the surrounding hordes. Normally it's just prudent caution, but it can sometimes manifest as a sort of national inferiority complex or even paranoia.
As with all the "World Views", this is something of a caricature, in itself, but since it only adds some modifiers supporting the thrust of the view and does not limit the country to be played only in that way it works out OK.
