Allegra RJanuary 25, 2011Try to get there around noon for the twelve rings of the bell! And it's the BELL, not the clock, that's named Big Ben!
BritannicaAugust 3, 2011Strictly speaking, the name refers to only the great hour bell, but it is commonly associated with the whole clock tower (formally known as St. Stephen’s Tower)
Erica P.December 26, 2012Actually, Big Ben is the bell of 14 tons of the most famous clock in the world. # justsaying
- Steve HovingtonFebruary 27, 2014Did you know? The minute hands are 4.2 metres long and weigh about 100kg (including counterweights)
Antonio MonfermosoFebruary 17, 2014Big Ben is the bell, not the building.. It's correct name is tower of Westminster.

anizAHM majidDecember 21, 2012Beware of beggars (fat ugly women) who wait for people by the stairs. They'll trick u with handmade flowers n ask for money to feed the 'homeless child'. They only want papers not coins :)
You don't have to be checked in here to hear the chimes - head to @Big_Ben_Clock for Big Ben on Twitter
