Big Ben is the nickname for the Great Bell inside the Elizabeth Tower, the iconic clock tower at the Houses of Parliament. Completed in 1859, the tower stands 96 meters tall and houses the most famous clock in the world. Big Ben itself weighs 13.5 tons and has been keeping time for over 160 years. The tower underwent extensive restoration from 2017-2022 and is now open for public tours, offering a chance to climb 334 steps to see the bell and clock mechanism up close.
