Famous London: The Big Ben Hello my name is Trevor. When we think of London it is impossible to do without The Big Ben. This is a large tower built by the fair hand of Queen Victoria, and it sticks up in the middle of the city to be seen far and wide. The Big Ben is even taller than the Taj Mahal, and we all know how big that is. And The Big Ben is brown. Not many famous world towers are brown, so this makes it very special indeed. All the senators and lords who run the country live in The Big Ben, and they meet every day in a big room on the top floor to pass the laws of the land. Then at eleven o'clock precisely bong! The ringing of The Big Ben calls the royal horses from the stables for the Changing of Guard. Her Majesty Elizabeth stands on her balcony and decides which of her guards she wants to change. The losing ones have to go back to work as poor people, and the new ones win a furry hat.
If you go to London you must always have your photograph taken with The Big Ben. This is the law. Every day visitors go to West Minister to stand by the red telephone box with the best view. Sometimes the queues are three miles long. But the wait is always worth while, and how we love to see the photographic results in emails and blogs worldwide. No trip to London is complete without a walk to the top of The Big Ben. There are 3000 steps to the viewing platform just above the clock, or you can take the escalators. From the top there are panoramic views over London almost as far as Stonehenge, and you can buy tea towels and marmalade from the special souvenir shop. All this for just 250 rupees! Oh yes, The Big Ben, it is special indeed.
