The British Houses of Parliament in the borough of Westminster, London, England has a four sided clock Tower.
The clock chimes every 15 minutes and strikes on the hour, every hour. The largest and deepest bell 'Big Ben' strikes the number of the hour - once at one o'clock, twice at two o'clock and so on.
'Big Ben' is in fact the nickname of the 'Great bell' - the biggest and heaviest bell in the tower at 13.5 tons, but it has become synonymous for the whole building itself, including the bell, clock and tower to be called 'Big Ben'. In September 2012 the tower was renamed 'Elizabeth Tower' in honour and celebration of the Queen for her Diamond Jubilee.
The Radio Station BBC Radio 4 uses the chimes of Big Ben to introduce its News programmes at 6 pm and Midnight, local time and you can hear it in the link below. Large clock, landmark in London, england
