A Boeing and the bongs
Known throughout the world as Big Ben, the Elizabeth Tower clock in London looks magnificent in the bright light of a crisp January afternoon. The tower (and, of course, the whole of the Palace of Westminster complex) was designed by Augustus Pugin in the mid-1800s.
Big Ben, by the way, is the nickname of the clock’s Great Bell, which weighs nearly 14,000 kg and sounds the internationally renowned ‘bongs’.
