The world’s most famous clock, Big Ben, stands next to the Houses of Parliaments in London.
Big Ben is the name of the bell which chimes every hour. The bell was named after Sir Benjamin Hall, the man who was given the task of hauling the bell up the clock tower.
The clock has four faces and keeps accurate time. It can be adjusted by the removal or addition of coins on the tray attached to the clock’s pendulum.
One interesting thing about the clock is that when the light shines above the belfry at night, it means that the House of Commons is still in session.
