It wasn't. It survived both world wars.
Well in WWI lots of buildings were destroyed, over 8 million. But one of them was Big Ben, and after the war they build it again.
It doesnt open anymore because it has been destroyed.
Big Ben was not bombed in World War II, although the chamber of commons was. Apparently, no damage was sustained by Big Ben.
Yes, Big Ben was around in World War 1. It was finished being built on April 10th, 1858.
The location of Big Ben was chosen in conjunction with the plan for a new palace. The new palace was to replace the Palace of Westminster which was destroyed by fire on October 16, 1834.
If you mean Big Ben. It was a part of the design for the new palace, after the old Palace of Westminster was largely destroyed by fire on the night of 16 October 1834.
It was a landmark and a timepiece.
Yes, Big Ben is still called Big Ben.
