Big Ben, or Big Ben, is the nickname for the clock of the Clock Tower, a bell tower attached to the Parliament Hall. It is a bell tower situated in the north of Parliament Building on the Thames River in London, UK. It has a big bell, named "Big Ben". It is one of the landmarks of London. In 1859, the bell was made by Sir Benjamin Hall, then the British Minister of Works, and it cost 27,000 pounds to cast. The bell tower is 95 meters high, 9 feet in diameter and weighs 13.5 tons. The bell weighs 21 tons and rings every 15 minutes. Every hour, according to Greenwich Time, the bell makes a heavy, clanking sound, and the echo of the bell can be heard miles away. As the symbol of London and Britain, Big Ben is the symbol of London. Everyone who goes to London for sightseeing does not want to go around the Bell Tower and stand on the Parliament Bridge to enjoy the unique architecture of London. Big Ben is huge and gorgeous. The area of four clocks is about two square meters. Big Ben has been announcing the time of London City since 1859, and has been doing so for nearly a century and a half, although it has split twice and been reopened during this period. Now Big Ben's bell still sounds clear and pleasant.

    Big Ben is probably the world's most famous clock. That iconic silhouette is instantly recognisable and is one of the most Instagrammed landmarks on the planet. Six monarchs and 41 prime ministers have come and gone since the bells first struck their now familiar music across Westminster.

    Big Ben, the bell tower of the British Parliament Building (Westminster Palace), built in 1859 on the banks of the Thames in London, is one of London's famous ancient bells and landmarks. The bell tower is 95 meters high, the bell diameter is 9 feet, and the weight is13.5 tons. It has been more than a century since Big Ben began to report for London in 1859. Big Ben is also an important place for British people to celebrate the New Year. It is not open to non-British people. But when you visit the Congressional Chamber, you can get close to Big Ben, free of charge and no reservation.

    The Big Ben Bell in London, England, is really cute. It is also one of the attractions where everyone will come to punch in and take pictures. The photos have no filter effects at all. When the weather is sunny, it is so beautiful!

    Seeing the Big Ben was one of the highlight of my trip to London last month. Although it was a rainy day (as usual in the UK) it was enjoyable. The amazing architecture will impress you for sure.
