One of the most famous sights and sound of London is Big Ben, which stands on a bank of the River Thames overlooking the Houses of Parliament. The clock, which is famous for being very accurate, is heard every day throughout the world. This is because it is used by the BBC at the beginning of their news programmes.
The name Big Ben refers not to the clock, as is commonly thought, but to one of its bells. This great bell weighs 13 1/2 tons and was made in 1858. The bell was named after a very large man, Sir Benjamin (Ben) Hall, who was in charge of building in London at this time.
The clock itself stands on a tower 350 feet high. There is a flag on the tower during the day that shows when Parliament is sitting and a light at night.
