On 21 August 2017, Big Ben's chimes were silenced for four years to allow essential restoration work to be carried out on the tower.
The aim of the renovation is to repair and conserve the tower, upgrading facilities as necessary, and ensuring the tower's integrity for future generations. The last significant renovation work to the tower was carried out during 1983–85.
The original cost of the project was estimated to be roughly £29 million, but this was then more than doubled, to reach about £80 million.
In a statement, UK authorities said: “The Elizabeth Tower conservation project is due to complete in the second quarter of 2022.

Straight out of the camera, no post processing. Whilst originally posted elsewhere, given the dreadful weather in the UK I thought I'd post a sunny memory for Friday afternoon.

قلّما تأتي تلك الأفراح التي ننتظرها في محطّة ,
و قلما يجيء أولئك الذين يضربون لنا موعداً ،
فيتأخر بنا أو بهم القدر ..
لذا ، أصبحت أعيش دون رزنامة مواعيد ،
كي أوفّر على نفسي كثيراً من الفرح المؤجّل !
