About Big Ben
Big Ben is located to the north of London's Collegiate Church of St. Peter in Westminster atop a 98-meter-tall clock tower. The clock face is brightly illuminated whenever the Houses of Parliament are in session. The giant clock represents England's classic culture. It is a landmark of the City of London and a source of pride for the people of England. Whenever London is used as the setting for a film, you can be absolutely certain to catch a glimpse of Big Ben. Although it is commonly known as Big Ben, the clock tower was renamed Elizabeth Tower in honor of Queen Elizabeth’s Diamond Jubilee in 2012.

it looks so beautiful with all the scaffolding around it. Honestly such a beautiful sight. I would upload a photo but you’re probably better off just googling it.
Currently is under renovation and cannot see much. When you visit the Thame’s bank, Lindon Eye or Westminister Parliament House, you will see it any ways.
london has been one of my favorite cities i have visited so far.
a must see spot on London, however it’s still being maintained.
It's the elezibath tower and the clock is the big ben always come in the must see list
I really liked the Big Ben and I took a couple of pictures with it it's really nice and old and teaches you a little about london's history
I mean, it’s Big Ben! The view from the river is gorgeous; a must do photo op.
One of the best attractions in central London.
Big Ben is a great attraction to see. If you do a guided tour it can be worth the visit. This is one of those attractions where you have to decide if it's really something you're invested into seeing as there's so much to do in London. I recommend doing a guided city tour where you have a guide that tells you the history of Big Ben while outside.
Out of all the landmarks in the world, Big Ben is one that won't disappoint. It looks exactly like it does in the pictures. You can get some great photos atop the pedestrian bridge as you approach the landmark (even better when you can catch a red double decker bus whizzing by in the background)! As striking in the daytime as it is at night, no visit to London is complete without taking a gander at this building.
