Answer 2

Big Ben is the nickname for the great bell of the clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London, and is often extended to refer to both the clock and the clock tower. The official name of the tower in which Big Ben is located was originally the Clock Tower, but it was renamed Elizabeth Tower in 2012 to mark the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II.

The tower was designed by Augustus Pugin in a neo-Gothic style. When completed in 1859, its clock was the largest and most accurate four-faced striking and chiming clock in the world. The tower stands 316 feet tall, and the climb from ground level to the belfry is 334 steps. Its base is square, measuring 40 feet on each side. The dials of the clock are 23 feet in diameter. The hour hand is 9 feet long and the minute hand is 14 feet long.

The name Big Ben is often associated with the clock tower itself, but it is actually the nickname of the Great Bell of the clock. The origin of the nickname is uncertain, and there are several theories about its origins. The most popular one is that the bell was named after Sir Benjamin Hall, who was the Commissioner of Works at the time the bell was installed.

So, in summary, the Big Ben is a famous landmark in London, known for its iconic clock and the bell that chimes every hour. It is a symbol of the city and is recognized all over the world.
