Hello, dear friends! Lets start our excursion to Big Ben! I hope everyone has heard about Big Ben! So, what is it?.

Firstly, its the symbol of Great Britain and one of the most beautiful sights of London. Secondly, its the largest and the most famous clock in the world.

Originally, Big Ben is a tower. Its one of the highest towers of Westminster Palace. Although Big Ben is very popular with spectators, nobody is allowed inside the tower. But if you are lucky, you can hear how the bell strikes.

Officially, the clock has started its work on 31 May 1859.

According to one of the theories the clock has been named Big Ben after Sir Benjamin Hall, who directed work on the casting of the bell. Another theory claims that it has been named after Benjamin Caunt, who was one of the well-known heavyweight boxers of the 19th century. Benjamin Caunt Benjamin Hall

By the way, the tower of Big Ben used to be a prison where some politicians were kept. The last prisoner here was the fighter for female rights Emmeline Pankhurst. Now here is her monument near the parliament.

The history of Big Ben dates back to 1288
