This is Big Ben. It’s on the north bank of the Thames. It’s a great clock tower. It’s very famous, old and tall.
The big clock has four faces. So no matter where you stand, you can read the face of the clock. The hands are about four meters long.
We all like to hear the big bell striking on the hour. Ding-dong! Ding-dong!
