Big Ben is the nickname for the great
bell of the clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in
London though today the name also refers to the clock and the clock
tower. The bell weighs almost 14 tons and each clock face is 23 feet in
diameter. It became fully operational on September 7th, 1859 and is
today one of the most prominent symbols of London standing at 316 feet
high. The clock requires winding three times per week and pennies are
periodically added or removed from the clock of pendulum to maintain its
accuracy.
