The iconic Big Ben in London, the bell tower bell tower of the Houses of Parliament will keep silence next Monday for protection work.

The Elizabeth Tower has a Great Clock and Big Ben (also known as the Great Bell) and is under renovation now. According to Congressional statements, as this work progresses, ordinary Big Ben's pauses will be paused until midday at 8pm (GMT) on 21st August.

"The silence of Big Ben is an important milestone in this important protection project," he said in a statement, that the official title of Steve Jaggers is a guardian of the great watch. "This important engineering project not only protects the watch over a long period of time but also the Elizabeth tower that protects and protects the house," he said.

We will walk from Westminster Abbey and Big Ben to the pier and we are planning to go to Greenwich at the ferry. At first it is a brief explanation of Big Ben. Big Ben is a symbol of London, but if you want to know why it has not been mentioned yet, it is due to doing big repair work until 2021. So when you pass by, you are not actually seeing a huge iconic watch as it is covered with a footing! We took a ferry, we sat at the window and was looking forward to a quiet start. The ferry navigates around the Thames River, stops at the Tower Bridge, and then heads to Greenwich, a suburb of London.

Big Ben is the nickname of the clock at the northern end of London's Westminster Palace, usually to watch and clock tower. The official name of the tower where Big Ben was originally a clock tower was renamed Elizabeth Tower in 2012 to commemorate the diamond day of Elizabeth II. The tower was designed in Augustus Pugin in Neo-Gothic style. When completed in 1859, that watch is the world's largest and most accurate four-sided striking and timepiece. The height of the tower is 315 feet (96 m), and the distance from the ground to the clock tower is 334. Its bottom is square, with 39 feet (12 m) on both sides. The diameter of the dial of the watch is 23 feet (7.0 m). On May 31, 2009, the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the tower will celebrate
