Big Ben is a symbol of London and probably is one of the first things you will see during your visit in this city. The strike of the famous clock is broadcast all over the world by the BBC. It was erected, after the fire of the House of Parliament in 1834. Big Ben was named after Sir Benjamin Hall who was its constructor during the building of the new House of Parliament. Big Ben is an extremely huge clock. What is more, it is very precise. Twice a day the clock is checked by some officials from the Greenwich Observatory if it is right.

The clock has become a symbol of the United Kingdom and London, particularly in the visual media. When a television or film-maker wishes to indicate a generic location in Britain, a popular way to do so is to show an image of the Clock Tower, often with a red double-decker bus orblack cap in the foreground. The sound of the clock chiming has also been used this way in audio media, but as theWestminster Quartes are heard from other clocks and other devices, the unique nature of this sound has been considerably diluted.
The Clock Tower is a focus of New Year celebrations in the United Kingdom, with radio and TV stations tuning to its chimes to welcome the start of the year. As well, to welcome in 2012, the clock tower itself was lit with fireforks that exploded at every toll of Big Ben. Similarly, on Remembrance Day, the chimes of Big Ben are broadcast to mark the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month and the start of two minutes' silence.
