Big Ben Clock
The symbol of England is Big Ben clock, it is also the most important thing, attractive landmark people think of. The Big Ben clock was built along with the huge church (houses of parliament) next to a river in London, the capital of England. It is the largest clock in the world, has four faces.It took 13 years to build and was completed in1856.The name Big Ben refers to the thirteen ton bell hung.
During the second world war, the houses of parliament were destroyed but the tower survived and continued to keep time.
It looks better at night with lights on. A special light above the clock is to let people know that parliament is in session
But the clock tower isn't open to public tourists, only residents in United Kingd
om can get in. Otherwise, the tower doesn't have an elevator, so that people have to climb up stairs 316 feet high.The Big Ben clock has been significant in popular culture. On New Year's Eve day and Remembrance Day, people listen to its chimes to welcome a start of a new year. The chimes are also broadcast by radio and TV stations in UK.
What a beautiful landmark! I really hope to go there someday!
