Big Ben is one of London's most famous landmarks, often used to refer to both the Great Bell and the Elizabeth Tower that houses it. Located at the north end of the Houses of Parliament, the clock tower was completed in 1859 and stands 316 feet tall. Big Ben is renowned for its accurate timekeeping and the distinctive chimes that mark the hours, a sound that has become synonymous with London. The name "Big Ben" originally referred to the Great Bell inside the tower, but over time, it has come to denote the entire clock tower. Big Ben remains a symbol of the UK's heritage and an iconic feature of London's skyline.
