The History Of Big Ben In 1 Minute

Big Ben is the nickname given to the Great Bell of the clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London . It’s often extended to refer to the Great Clock and the Clock Tower, which was officially renamed Elizabeth Tower to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II in 2012. Did you know – Culture Trip now does bookable, small-group trips? Pick from authentic, immersive Epic Trips , compact and action-packed Mini Trips and sparkling, expansive Sailing Trips .

When the original Palace of Westminster was destroyed by a fire in 1834, architects were invited to submit designs for the new palace and a commission was set up to select the best. Sir Charles Barry’s design was successful, however, it did not feature a clock tower. Barry turned to Augustus Pugin for the design of the tower and it was added to the plan in 1836. The Parliament was built in a Neo-Gothic style and the foundation stone for the Elizabeth Tower was laid on 28 September 1843. Due to construction work falling five years behind the schedule, the tower was completed in 1859.

As Charles Barry wasn’t a specialist clockmaker, they held a competition in 1846 to find a suitable design for the tower’s clock. Edward John Dent was appointed to build the clock following the design of clock maker Edmund Beckett Denison. When Dent died, his stepson Frederick completed the clock in 1854. It was installed in Elizabeth Tower in April 1859.

The main bell – officially the Great Bell – is known as Big Ben; the largest bell in the tower and part of the great clock. The origin of the name ‘Big Ben’ is not clear, but it may have been named after Sir Benjamin Hall, who oversaw the installation of the Great Bell. After the first bell suffered a 1.2m crack, Warners of Norton were asked to recast the bell 2.5 tonnes lighter. This new bell was winched up to the belfry in October 1858, and Big Ben first rang out on 11 July 1859. A short time later in September 1859 the bell broke again, and was fixed and reinstalled in 1863 costing £22,000. Apart from occasional halts, it has struck ever since and in 2009, Big Ben celebrated its 150th anniversary.

The tower and the bell can be visited by UK residents. The tours are free of charge, but must be sponsored by a Member of Parliament or a Member of the House.

25 Fascinating Facts About Big Ben We’ll Bet You Never Knew

Love This? Save and Share!

How many Big Ben facts do you know? 

If you’re any kind of Anglophile, or a Londoner yourself, you’ll know what the Houses of Parliament’s clock tower looks like, and you will probably have heard it chime too. What else is there?

Well, how about Big Ben’s history, and how Big Ben got its name? And that’s just for starters. 

Read on for 25 fun facts about Big Ben, including a few juicy snippets on the landmark’s ongoing renovation.

Interesting Facts About Big Ben

It’s actually called elizabeth tower .

The tower itself is Elizabeth Tower, and it’s the huge bell inside that’s called Big Ben. Why Big Ben? Well, it’s really big! In fact, the bell of Big Ben weighs over 13 tonnes. 

It was only in 2012 that the tower was given its current name, as an honour to Queen Elizabeth on her jubilee. 

What was the tower called before the new name? It was very imaginatively named Clock Tower. Big Ben’s clock faces are called The Big Clock, which is just as thoughtful. Not.

We’re not Sure how Big Ben got its Nickname 

One of the first questions many people ask about London’s famous clock is, ‘how did Big Ben get its name?’ 

The thing is, no one is quite sure. However, you might get one of two answers. Either could be true.

The first theory is that the bell (and now the whole clock, usually) was nicknamed ‘Big Ben’ after Sir Benjamin Hall, the first Director of Works. He was a large man, and known around the house as Big Ben.

The second suggests that the clock was named after a heavyweight boxer, champion at the time the tower and clock were built, Benjamin Caunt. He was also nicknamed Big Ben.

Big Ben’s Tower Leans Sideways

Don’t worry, the tower leans at an inclination of just 1/250 or 0.4 degrees. It’s not about to topple over, but if you look carefully when you’re standing close to Big Ben you should be able to see it tilt to one side. 

Big Ben has Always Been Important

In fact, the bell was seen as so important that when it arrived in London it was brought down the Thames in a barge as Londoners flocked to watch. Then, it was taken across Westminster Bridge in a carriage drawn by sixteen white horses. That’s a lot of ceremony for a bell!

Big Ben is Really, Really Accurate

In fact, the clock is accurate to within two seconds every two weeks. 

Of course, in order to keep Big Ben’s chimes sounding at just the right moment the clock has to be adjusted and wound. 

Winding takes over an hour, and someone has to wind the clock three times a week. On top of that, the pendulum is adjusted by adding old pennies (from before decimalisation). Each penny causes Big Ben to gain 0.4 seconds.

Big Ben has a long history

How old is Big Ben? Well, old enough to have been standing through the reigns of seven monarchs. That takes us right back to Queen Victoria, who was queen from 1837-1901. 

But Big Ben facts and history go back even further than that. The tower we now know as the Elizabeth Tower was not the first clock on the site. Far from it in fact. 

The first clock tower reported having been built where Westminster now stands was constructed in the 1290s. The first that we have records of was built in the 1360s, and was the first public chiming clock in England.

There were plenty more ups and downs at Westminster, including a fire, but ultimately Big Ben’s clock face began ticking in 1859.

Big Ben’s Face Went Dark in 1939

Of course our interesting facts about Big Ben had to include some wartime drama!

During WWII, the face of Big Ben’s clock was dimmed in compliance with blackout rules. With the whole of London dark, the glowing face would have been an easy target.

It Also Narrowly Avoided Being Bombed 

Having a dimmed clockface didn’t stop Big Ben from nearly taking a hit though. At one point during WWII, a German bomber dropped a bomb on The House of Commons right next door. The building was destroyed along with the roof of Westminster Hall. Through all the chaos of putting out the blaze (and the explosions themselves) Big Ben kept ticking – that’s one tough tower. 

In 1940, Big Ben Began Observing the Silent Minute

As a way to help Britons contemplate the terror and sadness of war, the BBC introduced the silent minute in 1940. 

This was a minute before the 9 o’clock news during which everyone listening to the radio was asked to quietly contemplate the sacrifices of soldiers on the battlefields of Europe. 

During this minute, Big Ben stayed silent and contemplative itself, to encourage Londoners to do the same. 

The Clock Tower Was Almost Destroyed During The Blitz

Despite the clock being darkened, enemy planes found the Houses of Parliament. 

In May 1941, the Commons Chamber at Westminster was destroyed by incendiary bombs. Luckily, though, Big Ben and its clock tower were undamaged. In fact, Big Ben was chiming as usual all through the bombing and the rebuilding of the Commons Chamber. 

Big Ben has its own Latin Motto

Here’s one for your Big Ben fact file. There’s a Latin saying beneath Big Ben’s clock face. It reads, OMINE SALVAM FAC REGINAM NOSTRAM VICTORIAM PRIMAM, and translated that means, ‘O Lord, keep safe our Queen Victoria the First’. 

This motto isn’t updated for new monarchs, as it is part of Big Ben’s history. 

The Light Above Big Ben is Important

Known as the Ayrton light, the green lantern above Big Ben shines whenever parliament is in session. 

It was installed at the request of Queen Victoria, who wanted to be able to see when the Commons or the Lords were sitting after dark. 

Going up Big Ben is Quite a Workout

The Elizabeth tower has a total of 399 steps. That’s 334 to the belfry, and a further 65 to the lantern above it. 

Big Ben’s caretaker and winder must be in good shape!

For a Long Time, Big Ben Lacked Public Conveniences

You came here for interesting facts about Big Ben, and we give you… toilets. 

Well, to be precise, the lack of a toilet.

The recent renovations on Big Ben gave the Elizabeth Tower its first ever loo. Previously, anyone working in or visiting Big Ben had to nip to the House of Commons when they needed to go. 

Big Ben Went Silent in 2017

Big Ben’s chimes stopped in 2017, but don’t worry, it was planned.

The silence was the first stage in a four-year renovation project which is set to end in 2022. The clock still chimes for special occasions, but not on the hour or quarter-hour as it usually would.

The COVID-19 Pandemic Held up Big Ben’s Most Recent Refurbishment

As if the global pandemic caused enough problems, it forced workers on Big Ben’s flagship refurbishment to down tools in early 2020. This added a year onto the project’s timeline, and is part of the reason that costs are estimated to have reached a whopping £80 million. 

You Can Tour Big Ben

At least, you usually can! The Elizabeth Tower has been closed during Big Ben’s refurbishment, but should open again in 2022.

In the meantime, you can still go to talks about the Elizabeth Tower and tour the Houses of Parliament . Along with the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben is usually one of the most popular tourist attractions in the UK. 

1976 was a Tough Year for Big Ben

This one is less a fun fact about Big Ben, and more a Big Ben tragedy!

In August 1976, a piece of Big Ben’s machinery snapped. The 117-year-old metal had become weak, and gave out in the night. 

That would have been bad enough on its own, but once the flywheel snapped it was thrown across the clock room, smashing everything it came into contact with. 

Local clock makers, Thwaites & Reed, who had bid for the initial Big Ben building contract but were not awarded it, came and saved the day.

Big Ben began keeping time again in early 1977, and Thwaites & Reed got to become a part of Big Ben’s history after all. 

Big Ben’s Clock Faces are Made of Glass

Which is why the last Big Ben fact (the 1976 mechanical failure) was so catastrophic! 

In fact, there are 312 pieces of glass in each of Big Ben’s clock dials. 

The BBC and Big Ben are Intimately Linked

Big Ben’s chimes were first broadcast by the BBC, or the British Broadcasting Company, in 1923. 

You’ll still hear those chimes on the BBC today. They are played before the News, amongst other things.

Big Ben was Once Late Chiming New Year

Although usually extremely accurate, Big Ben has slipped up a couple of times with its timekeeping.

Once, a flock of starlings landed on the clock face’s big hand. They were heavy enough to slow down Big Ben’s mechanism, knocking the clock off time.

And, in 1962, the winter was so cold that Big Ben was late to chime in the new year. Snow and ice were so heavy that December that the clock was once again weighed down, and rang in 1963 a full ten minutes late. That must have been confusing for partying Londoners!

The Hands on the Clock are MASSIVE

Ok geniuses, we hear you say, and you may be warranted in that comment. Clearly the hands on the clock are massive or else you wouldn’t be able to see them from all the way down on the ground. But just how big are they? 

Well, the minute hand measures in at 14ft long – more than the length of two adult males, one standing on the other. The hour hand measures in at 9ft long, still absolutely massive, and funnily enough the same length as London’s narrowest house. 

Big Ben Isn’t the Only Bell 

Nope, we bet you didn’t guess, Big Ben has more than one bell. There are actually four other, much smaller bells that chime alongside the Big Ben. These are called quarter bells and they help make the melody that you hear in the tower’s classic melody. 

The Bells Don’t Swing 

We often have the image of some big bell swinging back and forth as it rings but Big Ben and its four quater-bells are actually fixed in place. They’re struck by a massive swinging hammer to make them chime. 

The Clock Wasn’t Designed by a Clockmaker

Here’s an interesting Big Ben fact for you. The clock was not designed by a clockmaker – technically. In fact, the first designs were made by a clockmaker called Edward Dent, but the plans were changed so much over the construction of the clock that Edmund Beckett Denison, the man who made the changes became credited as chief designer. 

Denison was actually a lawyer and to double down on the interesting, he never patented his designs, meaning anyone is free to copy them to this day.  

There we are, 25 (mostly) fun facts about Big Ben. And they’re all interesting! 

Hopefully you’ll be ready for any surprise Big Ben questions, or London Landmark pub quiz rounds after reading them. 

We certainly feel like Big Ben boffins at London x London. Now, who can we go and impress with our knowledge of a large, famous clock?

Big Ben - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

The history of Big Ben – PowerPoint PPT presentation

• Big Ben is the nickname for the great bell of the clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London. It is the largest four-faced chiming clock and the third-tallest free-standing clock tower in the world. The clock was finished being built on April 10th 1858.
• The present tower was raised as a part of Charles Barry's design for a new palace, after the old Palace of Westminster was largely destroyed by fire on the night of 16 October 1834. The new Parliament was built in a Neo-gothic style.
• The origin of the nickname Big Ben is the subject of some debate. The nickname was applied first to the Great Bell it may have been named after Sir Benjamin Hall, who oversaw the installation of the Great Bell, or after boxing's English Heavyweight Champion Benjamin Caunt.
• The clock has become a symbol of the United Kingdom and London, particularly in the visual media. When a television or film-maker wishes to indicate a generic location in Britain, a popular way to do so is to show an image of the Clock Tower, often with a red double-decker bus or black cab in the foreground.

Biden holds record-breaking New York City fundraiser with Barack Obama and Bill Clinton

By Aaron Navarro , Jordan Freiman

Updated on: March 29, 2024 / 6:54 AM EDT / CBS News

President Biden participated in a star-studded fundraiser with former Democratic Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton on Thursday in New York City in an event expected to raise more than $25 million for the president's re-election campaign.

Thursday's New York City fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall was hosted by actress Mindy Kaling and featured performances by several musical guests and artists, including Queen Latifah, Lizzo, Ben Platt, Cynthia Erivo and Lea Michele. The event was capped off with a nearly hourlong discussion between Mr. Biden, Obama and Clinton moderated by "The Late Show" host Stephen Colbert. 

Obama accompanied Mr. Biden on the Air Force One flight from Washington, D.C., to New York earlier in the day.  

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and first lady Jill Biden also delivered remarks during the event. 

Schumer touted several of Mr. Biden's accomplishments and spoke of the potential for not just the president's re-election, but for Democrats to control all three branches of government with key wins in the 2024 election.

"Re-elect Joe Biden as president, put Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker, keep me as Majority Leader, and the next four years will be better than this. You ain't seen nothing yet," the Senate majority leader said.

The first lady, joined by several other members of the Biden family, recalled that after she agreed to marry Mr. Biden, "He said, 'Jill, I promise you, your life will never change.' Well that, of course, turned out to be wildly untrue."

She also spoke of the large sum raised for her husband's campaign.

"This is the biggest fundraiser the DNC has ever held – the fundraiser to end all fundraisers – and we've raised a record amount," Jill Biden said.

Mr. Biden, Obama and Clinton discussed a wide variety of topics, from the economy to the border to the Jan. 6, 2021 assault on the U.S. Capitol, which Mr. Biden bluntly referred to as an insurrection. 

"I was supposed to make a speech on the economy, and I decided I couldn't remain silent," Mr. Biden said. "So what I did was I made a speech about January the sixth, what was happening. And I said it was an insurrection underway, and it must be dealt with and I plead with the president to stop and do his job, call these people off. He sat there in the dining room off the Oval Office for several hours and watched, didn't do a damn thing. That's why I felt obliged even though I wasn't sworn in yet. I was president-elect."

The fundraiser was interrupted by demonstrators protesting against the war in Gaza multiple times, and one who appeared to be yelling something about nuclear with Russia, throughout the night. One interruption came while Obama was discussing Gaza, to which he replied "You can't just talk and not listen," leading the audience to give him a standing ovation.

"It is also possible for us to have our hearts broken watching innocent people being killed and try to manage through that in a way that ultimately leads to both people being able to live in peace side by side," Obama said. "That is not an easy thing."

"It is important for us to understand that it is possible to have moral clarity and have deeply held beliefs, but still recognize that the world is complicated and it is hard to solve these problems," the former president added.

There were also Pro-Palestinian protests outside the music hall, CBS News New York reported . The New York Police Department told CBS News one person was detained. There was no word on why.

The demonstrators were chanting and screaming their messages, directing their anger toward Mr. Biden and, at times, at police officers.

Mr. Biden reiterated his support for Israel and its right to self defense, but said there were "too many innocent victims" and that more aid needs to get into Gaza. Mr. Biden also expressed support for a two-state solution.

"It's understandable there's such a profound anger, and Hamas is still there, but we must in fact, stop the effort resulting in significant deaths of innocent civilians, particularly children," Mr. Biden said.

The campaign has billed the event as the "most successful political fundraiser in American history." 

During a swing through Texas earlier this month, the Biden campaign raised a combined $7 million from three separate fundraisers. A fundraiser for Mr. Biden in Raleigh, North Carolina, on Tuesday raised $2.3 million. 

Mr. Biden's largest single-day haul prior to Thursday came in the 24 hours after his  State of the Union address earlier in March, when he raised $10 million, according to his campaign.

But Thursday's staggering sum is a new record for the campaign, and it further illustrates the growing cash gap between Mr. Biden and his presumptive general election opponent, former President Donald Trump. 

Trump raised $20 million in the whole month of February and $8.8 million in January. He's also been dogged by legal bills and payments , with his campaign and the political action committees supporting him spending over $10 million in legal fees this year.

Mr. Biden's campaign committees have more than double the cash on hand of Trump's equivalent groups, $155 million for Mr. Biden and $74 million for Trump as of late March.

"Unlike our opponent, every dollar we're raising is going to reach the voters who will decide this election — communicating the President's historic record, his vision for the future and laying plain the stakes of this election," said Biden-Harris campaign co-chair and Hollywood mogul Jeffrey Katzenberg. 

Trump's campaign sent out two fundraising emails Wednesday mentioning Mr. Biden's Thursday fundraiser, with one calling on "one million Trump supporters to donate to beat the "Obama-Clinton cartel" and the other reading, "We can't lose to Obama!"
