Big Ben is one of London's best-known landmarks, which is nickname of a bell hanging in the clock tower at the (north) end of the Houses of Parliament in Westminster, London. Some believe it got (it) name from Sir Benjamin Hall. Officially, the tower itself is called Elizabeth Tower. It was (previous) known as just the Clock Tower, but was renamed in September 2012 in honor of Queen Elizabeth II. However, most people, (include) those that live in London, call the tower "Big Ben", because it is very large.
Designed by Edmund Beckett Denison, the clock took 13 years to build and it (complete) in 1859. It has worked continuously since then except for a few months in 1976 when it (break) down and had to be fixed. Since August 2017, repair work is being done on the clock, which will take four years. For the (safe) of those doing this work, Big Ben no longer rings out every hour. It will still be heard special occasions, such as the New Year and Remembrance Day.
The Elizabeth Tower has become one of the most important (symbol) of the United Kingdom and is often in the establishing shot of films set in London.
