Elizabeth Tower housing Big Ben

Wallpaper Description:

Big Ben
The Elizabeth Tower at the Palace of Westminster houses probably the most famous clock in the world, a place from which time is measured. Big Ben is not the 100m tower, but the 13th ‘great’ bell in the tower which strikes the hour.

With each face nearly 7m wide, the minute hands over 4.2m long and the hour hands weighing 300kg each, it is the largest four faced chiming clock in the world.

Although the clock was started on 31st May 1859, Big Ben rang for the 1st time over London a month later on 11th July.
