Fun Fact:
During the renovation of the elizabeth Tower, you could still hear the iconic melody from a tower. In Halle (Saxony-Anhalt, Germany), there is the so called Red Tower which has a carillion with 76 bells. They play the Westminster chimes (from Handel's Messiah) as well..

@@dweuromaxx LoL 🤣
No. Big Ben is the huge bell in that “grandfather clock tower.”
@@cbsteffen it's not grandfather clock tower, it's actually "Elizabeth Clock tower".
@@alexandermuller950 That’s right. People just usually think that Big Ben is the name of the clock tower, and the clock tower might remind them of grandfather clocks. I guess the bells inside the tower are too hard to point out, and that therefore might be the reason people mistake the clock tower for Big Ben.
