Although commonly referred to Big Ben's iconic tower of the Palace Westminster is originally the nickname of its largest bell.
It comes from the engineer who created it, Benjamin Hall. His overweight have been immortalized in this way ... Or maybe was it Benjamin Caunt, boxer of his condition.
Would have lasting impression by stopping his career as the debate on the construction of the clock were the one English newspapers.
In all cases, the sound of the legendary bell still rings very far: we could hear up to six miles around. The tower itself is 96.3 meters high, and indicates the time using four quadrants.
The tour is unfortunately only open to English, which must apply for permission several months in advance. You will have to settle for observing from afar.
