The majority of the tower beneath the clock is fairly empty, apart from two exhibition rooms on two floors. The driving mechanism of the clock (which is entirely analogue) is located in a single room, underneath the clock faces.
Above the clock faces there are two chambers. The first chamber is the Belfry, and has the bell of Big Ben located in the centre, with four Quarter Bells in the corners. Above this is the mechanism for operating the bells. The highest chamber has a lantern called the Ayrton Light.
