Big Ben

Big Ben is the nickname of the bell in the clock tower at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London, although today the name also refers to the clock and the clock tower. The bell weighs almost 14 tonnes and each dial measures 23 feet in diameter. It became fully operational on 7 September, 1859 and today is one of London's most prominent symbols, standing 316 feet high. The clock must be wound three times a week, and pennies are periodically added to or removed from the clock's pendulum to maintain its accuracy.
