  Big Ben
(Sights & Activities - Sightseeing)
Parliament SqLondon SW1A 0AA
Description:
WESTMINSTER. Arguably London's most famous landmark, this clock tower rises above the Houses of Parliament, former site of the Palace of Westminster. Although the tower has long been called "Big Ben," that moniker actually belongs to the tower's largest bell, which weighs more than 13 tons. The tower itself is 320 feet high, and its four clock faces are each 23 feet across. The tower, however you choose to refer to it, is a striking focal point for the Houses, especially when the sun throws the entire structure into golden relief. TUBE: Westminster
