Big Ben (Elizabeth Tower)

by FreeSchoolMarch 29, 2018Landmarks

 

It’s commonly known as Big Ben, but this famous landmark is actually named Elizabeth Tower in honor of Queen Elizabeth II. It’s more than 150 years old, 300 feet high, and has four clock faces each 23 feet across. It’s famously accurate, and it’s kept that way by stacking and unstacking pennies on its pendulum!
