Yes, Big Ben, which is the nickname for the Great Bell of the clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London, is part of the clock tower known as the Elizabeth Tower. The clock mechanism includes a pendulum that regulates its timekeeping. The pendulum swings to help maintain the accuracy of the clock, which was designed by Augustus Pugin and completed in 1859.
