As in any other clock, the Big Ben hands have different sizes: -The hour hand is 9ft (2.7m) long. -The minute hand is 14ft (4.25m) long. +++ Big Ben is not the clock, nor the tower, but the hour bell.
There are 334 steps in the Big Ben (Elizabeth Tower). Technically there are no steps in Big Ben - as this is the name of the largest bell in the tower.
