Big Ben, the great bell in Elizabeth Clock Tower rings every hour on the hour. First is the big ben chime, then is the o'clock dongs.
i.e. if it was 3 o'clock it would go ding dong ding dong, ding dong ding dong, then a few seconds wait, and a *dong. dong. dong to show that the time was 3. Where I put the *is when it is the time - so the first of the big dongs is when it is exactly o'clock (to within 1 second).
every hour and it chimes to the number of the hour. so for example if it was two o clock then it would chime twice
I think it's 25 seconds. At least that's what Wikipedia says: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Ben#Chimes
