The Houses of Parliament and ElizabethTower, commonly called Big Ben, areamong London's most iconic landmarks.

Technically, Big Ben is the name given tothe massive bell inside the clock tower, which weighs more than 13 tons (13,760

kg). The clock tower looks spectacular atnight when the four clock faces areilluminated. The Palace of Westminster

 was destroyed by fire in 1834. In 1844, it was decided the new buildings for theHouses of Parliament should include atower and a clock.

 A massive bell was required and the first attempt(made by John Warner & Sons at Stockton-on-Tees) cracked irreparably. The metal was melted

down and the bell recast in Whitechapel in 1858.Big Ben first rang across Westminster on 31 May 1859. A short time later, in September 1859, Big

Ben cracked. A lighter hammer was fitted and thebell rotated to present an undamaged section tothe hammer. This is the bell as we hear it today 

.You can take a tour of theHouses of 

Parliament. The Elizabeth Tower is not open tothe general public although UK residents canarrange a visit by writing to their MP.
