Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament

Big Ben, officially known as the Elizabeth Tower, next to the Parliament House, one of the most important buildings in Westminster, was renamed in 2012 to celebrate Queens Diamond Day. This 320 foot high clock tower, known as the Big Ben, is actually a watch nickname at the northern end of London's Westminster Palace (Parliament House), which often extends to the watch and the clock tower itself.

Big Ben is one of the most famous landmarks in the capital and is an important feature of the city's famous skyline that thousands of people from around the world visit every year.

There are two theories about how to name the clock of the watch, the first one is Sir Benjamin Hall who served as an engineering commissioner from 1855 to 1858. Or it may be named after the 1950's champion heavyweight boxer Ben Coulter.

In any case, the weight is only 13, 760 kg, Big Ben is big, but St. Paul 's Cathedral is London' s largest clock watch.

Please use the old penny coin to adjust the clock every year. If the clock is too fast pennies will be added to the pendulum. Penny will be deleted if it is too late.

The dial is more than 7 meters in diameter and is cleaned every 5 years by abseilers using soap and water. During the Congress' conference, the face of the clock will light up.

On December 31, 1923, the BBC broadcasted the Bell of Big Ben for the first time even today.

The Elizabethan building is not open to the public, but residents of the UK can apply for access to the members in advance.
