Did you know that Big Ben is the name of the main bell inside the clock and not the actual clock tower itself, that the mechinism is still hand wound several times a week and the accuracy of the clock is adjusted by adding or removing an old penny from the main pendulum weights.

This is the first time I've seen a picture of it since the restoration. I used to be really glum looking, just like the rest of the building to the left. Thanks for sharing!

Am I crazy but is Big Ben starting to look like the leaning tower of Pisa
