Big Ben and Boadicea Statue, London
Additional Details:
| The 315 foot high clock tower of the House of Commons incorporates the most popular landmark in London—Big Ben, so called after portly Sir Benjamin Hall, Commissioner of Works when the tower was erected. Big Ben is properly the name of the great bell, whose chimes are known the world over through their use on the radio, but it is applied by extension to the clock and the tower itself. |
