BIG BEN Here is the big ben and I decide to put this monument because I think that it’s very important for the history of London. It appears in a lot of movies like Peter pan and others… It was built in 1856 and crown the tour of the British parliament. The Clock Tower is a focus of New Year celebrations in the United Kingdom, with radio and TV stations tuning to its chimes to welcome the start of the year. Similarly, on Remembrance Day, the chimes of Big Ben are broadcast to mark the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month and the start of two minutes' silence.
