The name of the clock is incorrectly known as Big Ben, which refers to the bell that strikes the hour, and it stands on top of Peace Tower. Now known as Elizabeth Tower.
The clock is known as the (great) tower clock
The clock and clock tower located at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London is commonly referred to as Big Ben. While "Big Ben" is a commonly used nickname, the tower is officially called the Elizabeth Tower.
The tower is called "The Elizabeth Tower". The clock is called "The Great Clock of Westminster". The main bell is called "The Great Bell" but is nicknamed "Big Ben". All this aside, the entire site is called "Big Ben" by tourists.
Before WWII it was affectionately referred to as "Big Belt", due to the size someone would have to be to wear it as a fob watch.
However, when the Germans blitz-bombed England one of their primary targets was "Big Belt" and the Westminster tower. Through the months-long bombing raids, everyone assumed the clock to be destroyed, and started falling it the "Big Has Been". When the Germans were finally forced to stop the raids, and the Londoners came out of the Underground, they saw that it had withstood everything the Germans could throw at it.
From that major psychological victory, the British rose up and in one mighty battle, totally destroyed Germany. From then forward it was officially renamed, "Big Been". Due to the generally illiterate condition of the Londoners however, (After spending four years in the London Underground, schools no longer existed in England), the re-naming petition misspelled it as "Big Ben".
"And now you know the rest of the story."
