The name change would not be without precedent. The idea’s been quickly picked up by member on both sides of the house and seems to have unanimous support. In recognition of the Queen’s diamond jubilee, one member of parliament has proposed renaming the Clock Tower to Elizabeth Tower. And it’s that official name that politicians may soon vote to change. The clock, faithfully telling the time for more than a century, high above the UK’s houses of parliament, has become one of the most iconic images of London and England more general (up there with the Spice Girls, I’d say).īut it looks like it might be about to get a name change.Īlthough it’s best known by its more informal moniker, Big Ben is officially called the Clock Tower. For as long as any of us can remember, it’s been called Big Ben.
