Big Ben


Any trip in London wouldn't be complete without going to see old Ben

It has served Londoners through the years, again and again



(During the war, an incendiary bomb destroyed the Commons area in the House of Parliament, but the big clock remained intact and working)




The big Clock has been ticking since 1859

During the war it took a licking but the iconic timepiece survived quite fine.

The ole' Big Ben is the most famous clock face in the world

Behind the majestic tower , the famous Union Jack unfurled.
