Every day, millions of tourists come to

London to see and listen to Big Ben. But,

what exactly is Big Ben?

Most people think that Big Ben is the tall

clock tower that stands above the Houses of

Parliament. Well no! Big Ben is not the

clock. It is one the four huge columns inside

the tower. Its name comes to the bell's

commissioner of works, Sir Benjamin Hall,

or Ben. The tower is 98 meters high. The bell

inside the tower is 14 kilos. The clock on the

tower is also huge. Each of the four

clockfaces is 7 meters wide. The hour

hands are about 3 meters long and the minute

hands are about 4 meters long.

Perhaps one day you can go to London and

see this amazing tourist attraction.
