Good day again! Today I am off to visit the Big Ben clock tower. To me, it is the pride of London; it can be seen from almost anywhere in this great town and can be heard just as well. There is even a special chime for Rememberance day. When ever I am in London, I can always rely on Big Ben to keep track of time since it has been runnig for 150 years now and has never failed since. One thing even most Britains do not know is that Big Ben is actually the name of the 14 ton bell inside the clock tower, not the clock itself.
