Big Ben

I was gobsmacked to learn that Big Ben is really the Large Bell inside of the Clock Tower. Looking at the Tower you can’t see Big Ben ~ you can only hear him!

Aaah, dear Big Ben. To Brits, Big Ben is inextricably linked with 2 things – the ITV News At Ten (which incorporates the chimes – or “bongs” as we call them – into the opening sequence) and the countdown to New Year’s Day.

Plus, it looks beautiful lit up at night :)

Would live in London if I could! Love my trip there.

We drove by it going through London, but I’d love to stop there and see it.

Oh I love this clock.

Big Ben is much more beautiful in person than in pictures.

nice place to visit.. i was walking down the westmister abbey when i saw a group of people standing near an iron gate and clicking pics, i went close and found it was 10 downing street. along the way i came across trafalgar square..
