Big Ben is a nickname for The Elizabeth Tower in London #CityFacts #UnitedKingdom #UK #England

It is the clock tower of the Palace of Westminster.

The tower was officially called the Clock Tower until 2012, when it was renamed to mark the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II.

Big Ben is thought to be named after Sir Benjamin Hall, Chief Commissioner of Works at the time the bell was installed.
