Big Ben, the iconic clock tower in London, undergoes regular maintenance to ensure its proper functioning and preservation. This includes routine inspections of the clock mechanism, the tower structure, and the clock face, as well as cleaning and repairs of the stonework and elements like the clock's hands and dials. Skilled craftsmen and clockmakers perform these tasks, often during periods of reduced public access to minimize disruption. Additionally, restoration projects are periodically undertaken to address any significant wear or damage to the historic structure.
No, Big Ben is a mechanical clock. It is maintained to be very accurate and its timing is altered minutely by varying the weight of the pendulum by adding or removing old pennies.
The clock in the clock tower of the Palace of Westminster is maintained by the London clockmakers Thwaites & Reed.
