The Clock Tower of the Houses ofParliament is famous for its big hour bell,known as “Big Ben”.

Big Ben: this 316ftclock tower was completed between1858-59. Big Ben is named, probably,after Sir BenjaminHall, the first commissioner of works.

The Tower Bridge was built at the end of the 19th century to matchthe medieval style of the fortress. The bridge is functioning perfectly well for such a great city as modern London. It can be quickly swung open to let in big ocean ships that can move up the Thames from the ocean. The territory between the Tower and London bridges is calledthe Pool for this reason.

So that pedestrians could walk along the bridge at the time its lower part is open, a pass is made in itsupper part of the bridge nowdays .
