The Clock Tower of the Palace of Westminster is commonly known as the Big Ben. The tower is one of London's most famous landmarks. The name Big Ben is often used to describe the tower, the clock and the bell but the name was first given to the Great Bell.

 

The clock inside the tower was the world's largest when it was installed in the middle of the nineteenth century. The name Big Ben actually refers to the clock's hour bell, the largest of the clock's five bells. The other four are used as quarter bells.

Big Ben is located in the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London.
