EVI PAPACHARALAMPOUS

FOR EVERY BODY WHO TRAVELS TO ENGLAND, BIG BEN IS ONE OF THE FIRST PLACES IN LONDON WHICH YOU MUST VISIT!

• Big Ben is London’s landmark.

• It is the bell which means the time from the clock tower, next to the Parliament and its sound is broadcast "live" from the radio Come on.

• The clock has four faces, it’s 106 m high, and has a bell tower that weighs 14 tonnes.

• It rings every hour.

• It took its name from Benjamin Hall, who was the foreman to construct it in 1858. The clock is the largest in Britain.

• The four plates have a diameter of 7.5 meters and a bronze hand 4.25 meters in length.

• The Big Ben has been standing in London for three centuries and it is adjusted to London's pulse.
