The Elizabeth Tower, formerly known as the Clock Tower, commonly known as Big Ben, is located on the banks of the Thames in London, England. It is a clock tower attached to the Palace of Westminster, the Parliament building of the United Kingdom, and is a landmark building in London. Big Ben in London, England, the clock tower attached to the Parliament Chamber of the United Kingdom, is designed in Victorian Gothic style and installed on the 95-meter-high clock tower on the east side of the Parliament Building on the north side of Westminster Bridge. The clock dial is set in an iron frame with a diameter of 23 feet (7 meters), supporting 312 cat's eyes, which looks like a colored window. The periphery of the dial is decorated with gold plating. 6 The tower was designed by Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin and built by Edward Dent and his son Frederick. It is one of the famous Gothic buildings in the world. During the parliament period, the clock face will emit light and chime every hour according to Greenwich time.
