The Clock Tower is the world's largest four-faced, chiming clock. The structure is situated at the north-eastern end of the Houses of Parliament building in Westminster, London. It is almost universally called "Big Ben" — which is actually the main bell housed within the Clock Tower.

The main bell, officially known as the Great Bell, is the largest bell in the tower and part of the Great Clock of Westminster. The bell is better known by the nickname Big Ben, which is almost universally mistakenly applied to the Clock Tower.

The name Big Ben was given to a 14.5 tonne (16 ton) hour bell, cast on 10 April 1856 in Stockton-on-Tees by Warner's of Cripplegate. The bell was never officially named, but the legend on it records that the commissioner of works, Sir Benjamin Hall, was responsible for the order.

The Clock Tower is a focus of [[New Year]] celebrations in the [[United Kingdom]], with radio and TV stations tuning to its chimes to welcome the start of the year. Similarly, on [[Remembrance Day]], the chimes of Big Ben are broadcast to mark the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month and the start of two minutes' silence.

For years [[ITN]]'s "[[News at Ten]]" began with an opening sequence which featured the Clock Tower and Big Ben with the chimes punctuating the announcement of the news headlines. The Big Ben chimes are still used today during the headlines and all [[ITV News]] bulletins use a graphic based on the Westminster clock face. Big Ben can also be heard striking the hour before some news bulletins on [[BBC Radio 4]] (6pm and midnight, plus 10pm on Sundays) and the [[BBC World Service]], a practice that began on [[31 December]] [[1923]]. The chimes are sent in real time from a microphone permanently installed in the tower and connected by line to [[Broadcasting House]].

Big Ben can be used in the classroom to demonstrate the difference between the speed of light and the speed of sound. Someone visiting London who stands at the bottom of the clock tower will hear the chimes of Big Ben approximately one-sixth of a second later than the bell being struck (assuming a bell height of 55 metres). However, using a microphone placed near the bell and transmitting the sound to a far away destination by radio (for instance [[New York City]] or [[Hong Kong]]), that location will hear the bell before the person on the ground. In fact, if the recipient were to echo the sound back to the observer on the ground, the bell would be heard on the radio before the natural sound reached the observer. (Example: New York City is 5,562 kilometres (3,456 mi) from London, and radio waves will reach New York in 0.018552 seconds; round trip is 0.037105 seconds, compared with 0.1616 seconds for the natural sound to reach the ground.)

An image of the clock tower was also used as the logo for [[London Films]].

大笨鐘,(Big Ben),即威斯敏斯特宮鐘塔,英國國會會議廳附屬的鐘樓 (Clock Tower) 的大報時鐘的暱稱。是坐落在英國倫敦泰晤士河畔的一座鐘樓,是倫敦的標誌性建築之一。鐘樓高95米,鐘直徑9英尺,重13.5噸。每15分鐘響一次。

大笨鐘的命名來源眾說紛紜,有一種說法稱大笨鐘的名字來自於班傑明•豪爾爵士。

大鐘於1858年4月10日建成,是英國最大的鐘。塔起碼有320英尺高(約合97.5米),分針有14英尺長(約合4.27米),大笨鐘用人工發條,國會開會期間,鐘面會發出光芒,每隔一小時報時一次。每年的夏季與冬天時間轉換時會把鐘停止,進行零件的修補、交換,鐘的調音等。

大笨鐘的可靠性毋庸置疑,自從建成,倫敦格林威治天文臺的官員每天兩次派人校對此鐘。

在[[英國]],大笨钟是人們慶祝[[新年]]的重點地方,收音機和電視都會播出它的鐘聲來迎接新一年的開始。同樣地,在[[陣亡將士紀念日]],大本钟鐘聲的傳出表示第11個月的第11天的第11個小時及2分鐘的默哀開始。

[[獨立電視新聞]]的「十時新聞報告」以一連串的大笨钟鐘聲作新聞預告的配樂作開始已很多年。大笨钟的鐘聲今天仍會用於所有[[獨立電視新聞]] 新聞快報的新聞預告,及威斯敏斯特宮大笨钟的鐘面圖。從[[1923年]][[12月31日]]開始,大笨钟的鐘響亦可在於英國廣播公司第四台的一些新聞佈告(6時正、半晚及星期天的晚上10時正)的一小時前及[[英國廣播公司國際廣播部]]聽到。鐘聲是經由長期設置在鐘樓內而連接著[[廣播大樓]]的擴音器傳送的。

大笨钟可用來說明[[光速]]和[[音速]]的分別。如果一個人到了倫敦並站在鐘樓下,他會聽到大笨钟的鐘聲比那鐘被敲響時的時間慢約是六分之一秒(假定鐘在高55米之處)。可是如果把一個擴音器放在鐘附近並用無線電把鐘聲傳至很遠的地方(像[[紐約市]]或[[香港]]般),那地方會比那站在鐘樓下的人更早聽到鐘聲。事實上,如果接收者把那鐘聲發回給在地面的那觀察者,無線電傳送那鐘聲會比那觀察者聽到真正鐘聲時更快。(例如:紐約市距倫敦5,562公里,而無線電會在0.018552秒內把鐘聲傳至紐約市;來回共需0.037105[[秒]],但原來的鐘聲卻需0.1616秒才能達到地面)

鐘樓的圖像亦曾被用作倫敦[[電影]]的標誌。

大笨鐘的可靠性毋庸置疑,自從建成,倫敦格林威治天文臺的官員每天兩次派人校對此鐘。不過有一次它把時間報錯了,因為一名在大笨鐘上作業的油漆粉刷工在鐘面上掛了一個油漆桶,把鐘弄慢了。
