16-storey Gothic clocktower and national symbol at the Eastern end of the Houses of Parliament.
Big Ben in Charef
Description
Privilege
A very large, old, analog clock at the top of a tower in the Gothic Revival style. It appears to keep the correct time, but an update to an LED digital format would do wonders for visibility especially at night.
MoreThe views of the icon in London from different corners! The Big Ben was closed for renovation. However it still stroke on the hour!
MoreIf you have the opportunity to make the guide visit though all the important monuments, this should be a must.Just a few steps away you can find the London Eye, and be careful with the pedestrians near there, because they will try to make you play the game of the ball in the cup, but its a trick.
MoreIts a London classic. You definitely need a picture here. It is also close to the London eye and Westminster Abbey, so you can cover all these attractions while in the area.
MoreYou must see this one when you are in London.Just because he belongs to London.The gold shines so beautifully, and the clock is really mega static & beautiful.
MoreGreat historic monument but very less commentary written for common people to read. A tourist guide is a must have if you want to better understand the history!
More🕒Must-See World Heritage Site🕒I visited London this year. Even with the structural repairs taking place on the tower, Im convinced theres no such thing as a "bad picture" of Big Ben. Every angle stuns and inspires. The sheer size and detail is enough to mesmerize--an architectural achievement worth visiting simply to gaze upon. The movement of the sun throughout the day enhances different elements of the clocks design, making it worthy of multiple visits, especially for those taking pictures.When you see Big Ben in person, you feel truly within London. The sensation must be experienced in person to be believed.

MoreBig Ben!Well the name of the tower is Elizabeth tower, the name of the clock inside is called Big Ben. Of course it’s one of the most known building/tower in London and worldwide. It was covered and work was in progress for the last couple of years but now it’s open and shiny. The new look with the blue colour inside the clock makes it look amazing.A must photo stop in London, always crowded form the front side. I suggest to get the view from the back. Please see the pictures to understand.Absolutely in love with this tower.
MoreLondon is a multicultural place. It is a city where you can enjoy and discover lots of places to meet and learn from its city magic. The Big Ben is one of the most visited places, how to miss that majestic clock that marks the hours with its beautiful sound leaving your heart happy.
MoreReally impressive to see in real life and the architecture is just splendid. It was my first time in London so I visited famous monuments and museum and I was not disappointed at all, London is by far my favorite city in the world it is so welcoming and diverse, even tho the sky is often grey.
MoreSecond time to see Big Ben, first time he was under construction so to see it in all of it’s glory was amazing. It truly makes the London cityscape being anywhere near, all within a short walk from the major attractions like Buckingham Palace, etc.
MoreBig Ben closed but lovely to see it cleaned, from the outside. Now all they need to do is to clean up Parliament next door! And urgently!
MoreMajestic, huge, historic and elegant at the same time. A beautifully-looking building. Unfortunately its still closed, but just by looking at it, taking photos from every angle possible is so much fun. If you are visiting London, its a must-see attraction.
MoreIf you get off the Tube at the Westminster station you’ll walk up the stairs and Big Ben will loom before you in all its glory. We were in awe of the size and beauty. The bell was not chiming two days ago, even so, it’s a sight to behold.
MoreBig Ben or Clock Tower,Ive seen it in movies,weve all seen this building at some point, but now I had the opportunity to see Big Ben with my own eyes!Im so in love with this place!The highlight is definitely the famous watch, the fact that it is in the center of attention near Westminster Abbey, London Eye, Trafalgar Square and Sea Life,the Gothic Style Architecture,it is a must see it at least once in a lifetime!Definitely the most beautiful view is from the height point of London Eye!FANTASTIC!
MoreBig Ben is the nickname for the Great Bell of the striking clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London, England,[1] although the name is frequently extended to refer also to the clock and the clock tower.[2] The official name of the tower in which Big Ben is located was originally the Clock Tower, but it was renamed Elizabeth Tower in 2012, to mark the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II.
MoreThis big beautiful recently-made-over clock is a must a see when you’re in London Town! The new blue paint really brings out the golden hue around the clock face. I’d definitely recommend visiting and snapping some cool pics.
MoreWas an emotional time to be visiting London again, during the Period of National Mourning for Her Majesty. But I missed seeing Big Ben (he was under wraps in 2018/19 when I last visited!so I’m glad I took in the scene last week near Westminster. So poignant and beautiful.
MoreOne of the most famous landmarks in London! Sadly it was closed for visitors during my visit, but nevertheless its amazing to just take photos with it!Noone should miss it on their visit to London :)
MoreBeen learning about it in high school in Ukraine. Since then was my dream to visit it. Finally did it and fell in love with 😍 London and all the sight seeing 😊
MoreWho doesnt love Big Ben. Its so nice to see the tower without the scaffolding which had been in place whilst vital restorative works were undertaken. Now back to proudly standing overlooking London. Its a joy to see.
MoreAmazing tourist spot! You could not leave London without visiting the Big Ben and the London Eye that is behind. Depending on the day, it is crowded but it is worthwhile! If you have time, visit the area in the evening… the lights are amazing! Perfect to stroll down and take a picture with a remarkable place!
MoreWhat a classic structure made during 1860s.View from London eye is also worth viewing.There are many other tourist attractions near this place, which is definitely gonna take your day, and still you may want to come here again.Amazing tourist attraction in London. Vibes are great here 😁You can easily reach here through train.Westminster or Embankment is the nearest station.
MoreObviously one of the things that you see when you visit London. Consider walking across the Waterloo bridge to get good pictures. From Parliament Square you can get some funny pictures, like holding up Big Ben, touching the to, swishing it, etc. There are some red phone booths on one side of Parliament Square that let you have Big Ben in the background.
MoreAn amazing place to visit if youre a tourist. Conveniently located by the Westminister Underground Station. Big Ben clock tower is an architectural marvel. If youre ever in the area, be sure to take a look at this top-of-the-line tower in the daylight and night! Highly recommended!
MoreIts gorgeous! Must visit when in London as a tourist. We marveled over the architecture and design for quite some time and with not as much crowd in the area which was definitely a plus.
MoreIconic and historic. It’s fun to walk along the Thames and see the tower come in to view. It’s photogenic from all angles.
MoreChill vibes if you’re far enough from the main bridge. Be aware though. There are pick pocketers as well as people trying to hand you roses just to scam you for money. Pretty aggressive too. Just walk away like Usain Bolt. Otherwise, very chill vibes and great scenery
MoreGet down at the Westminster underground station and you will exit directly in front of the great Big Ben. The most spectacular sight which is unforgettable and a signature monument of london. The walk along the Parliament square is within a mile of the Big Ben and great view also from the Westminster Abbey. Accessible by underground train as well as the bus.
Morebig ben is a very photogenic place and it has a spacious empty field beside it that I unfortunately didn’t capture😞. But if you want to have fun and enjoy a picnic with your friends you can do so but don’t litter please🫡.
MoreLovely place. The bigben is one of the most precious and fabulous buildings of lonon. After the renovation, the big ben look even better than before! (Photos taken while being in the London Eye)
MoreDream place. Big Ben is one of the finest architecture of world. Place is usually very crowded, but now it is temporarily closed.
MoreA historical places too much visitors of all nations with different dresses.Very peaceful and hot atmosphere near to river Thames. We take rest under the trees and children enjoying in play in playing area.You must take your drinks and some food with you when visit to big ban and London eye.
MoreThe whole area from Westminster Abbey, through Big Ben and to London Eye is a great and fun area, it could be extremely crowded. But the amount of things to do there are endless, from street performers to food trucks and the rest of the attractions all around. This place is full of life
MoreBig Ben itself we did not go inside. Im not sure if we even can. However, we explored the local area. It was all very clean and some really good views of the river etc..I suppose rhe weather being 30 degrees helped us enjoy it too as the sun bounced off the gold on the clock itself.
MoreIconic clock tower in London. The renovation is almost completed. The wind is always strong, I suggest you to visit earlier in the morning. The river is brown. There is a (not sosecret location under the bridge.
MoreThe Big Ben is a beautiful piece of architecture that is envied all around the world and for good reason. The spectacle that it creates at nighttime for me is something that it can only offer. For me is the focal point of London, the first place that I would go visit when I arrive there and the last place that I will say goodbye too. Welcome back Big Ben.Fun Fact: it is the actual Bell inside that is called Big Ben and not the tower.
MoreI visited London many times in 2008-2009 and took many pictures at night during this time, especially during Christmas time of 2008. Enjoy!
MoreOne of beautiful iconic places in London at Westminster, but it’s closed due to renovation, but outside view is amazing.
MoreLovely place. A great tourist place. Always big crowds. However, it is worth coming here. The Big Ben building is an extraordinary architectural craftsmanship. Today, after renovation, it looks like new. I highly recommend visiting this place in London.
MoreA London land mark and iconic structure craftsmanship at its best. Nice to see the scaffolding coming down after the £80m make over. Unfortunately today 8th April scaffolding hit the building whilst been removed. Hopefully not too much damage.
MoreLooks like Big Ben is still under renovations however he is revealing his new shiny face! Some of the scaffolding covering his face has been taken down revealing his shiny gold face! We did notice that the time was wrong and wasnt moving when we went though but he is gorgeous!
MoreEven clad in scaffolding this iconic British building is instantly recognised all the world over.No surprise really that the nickname of Big Ben for the Great Bell of the striking clock is extended to refer to the clock and the clock tower by most people. The official name of the tower in which Big Ben is located was originally the Clock Tower, but it was renamed Elizabeth Tower in honour of Queen Elizabeth II.Definitely a place to linger and get your perfect picture.
MoreBig Ben is one of the sight seeing attractions of London. This is located near the "Westminster Abbey" and this place is also the nearest bus stop to reach to Big Ben. The Big Ben is a tall Golden coloured tower having clock on it. This place offers a bumper offer to those who are crazy about clicking pictures especially to those who need London vibes.
MoreIf you plan to visit UK, it is a must obviously, amazing place and the restoration is finally about to be over, so all 4 clocks will display the right time. From here you have access to plenty other historical and interesting places such as WESTMINSTER ABBEY, Jewel tower, palace and bridge of WESTMINSTER. If you like walking youll easily arrive to different bridges like Vauxhall, Golden jubilee, Waterloo, Lambeth, etc. London eye its a must do (i recommend it in the afternoon), Go to WESTMINSTER pier for a thames boat ride and Also Trafalgar square is really close and so much more its a couple of minutes walking. Dont forget to get the most iconic picture from across the big ben next to the red phone boot. I did it as well. Finally dont forget to wear comfy shoes, an umbrella always comes in handy and dress properly for the lovely London weather. Hope your trip here turns out to be as amazing and life changing as mine.
MoreA trip to London is not complete if you do not see BIG BEN.Big Ben is the nickname for the Great Bell of the striking clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London, EnglandThe bell weighs a staggering 15.1 tons and to hear Big Ben strike midnight is beyond incredible!
MoreIconic structure is getting open slowly after lots of renovation work. It is not fully uncovered. If you are in London then you should visit this clock tower. It looks more beautiful from the top of London eye. It is just beside of Westminster so you can click your selfy from Westminster Bridge.
MoreBig Ben is the nickname for the Great Bell, which is famous for its accuracy and for its massive bell. Its definitely one of the must-visit landmarks in London for all tourists.We were so excited to wait for the bell of the clock. For every tourist’s reference: It chimes every hour, and smaller bells around it chime every 15 minutes to mark each quarter-hour.However, its under construction currently, so our photos look not so great and the construction is expected to be completed in its entirety in 2022.
MoreThis is one of the most iconic places in London, and definitely one you should visit. At the time of our visit, it was fortunately not under construction, but I am told it is now. Beautiful tower, so bring your camera with you!
