I've been inside Big Ben & seen the whole works. I first went up there for the millenium & 2 years later. I'm a VERY big fan of Big Ben. I've got lots of books about Big Ben. If there is anybody who has the same intrest in Big Ben as I have could you put a comment on you tube so I can look at it, I've been interested in Big Ben since my childhood when my late dad used 2 bring home books from the library about it
@@LukeWatson99 You two are not the only ones who love Big Ben, I LOVE the clock tower so much that I can not express it. It’s soothing chimes get me so excited when I hear them. I wish to go to London and see Big Ben up in person for the first time, and I can not wait until the repair and restoration works are done.
I love Big Ben so much! It's one of the most coolest places in London! And when you live in London you'll here the clock chime every 15 minutes after the hour and the hour.
Apparently when Big Ben was new you could hear the chimes all over London and even in some surrounding areas. These days you can barely hear it outside of Westminster. Not because of any changes in the clock or bells but just because it's drowned out by all the competing noise. The builders of Big Ben were't anticipating how noisy London would be a century later.
@@stephensnell5707 Yes, people sleep at night but you said “everyone”. There is no point at which everyone is asleep in a modern city. Cities run 24/7.
Very beautiful! I've been in London twice, and I was like "We must see Big Ben!" It's the most beautiful clock tower ever!! :oD Of course, London is a very beautiful place to be. It feels magical to be there!!
So lucky! I live in the United States and I've never been to London and I've always wanted to go there cause my family has never traveled out of country.
London is a much higher latitude than India the further north you go the longer the summer daylight, conversely in the winter time the sun goes down in the early afternoon by 4:00 p.m. it's dark out already.
@@hariranormal5584 and truth is the bells was silenced 4 years ago so repair work could be done on the clock to protect the ears of the workers going the repairs as the loudness of the bells could well have made the workers deaf
yeah i've been to london twice, but only seen it once. when i first saw big ben i checked my watch and it was 3:55pm but as it was scaffolding i had to realise i wouldn't hear it chime :(
The bell is located inside the belfry and the outside of the belfry is above the clock face which is located easily at the night with the lights in the belfry
@@carwashslayer4235 it's super you agree with me and also note Big Ben has a weight of 13.5 tonnes and the hammer that strikes it each hour is 3 tonnes in weight
🎉 Salutations from coastal Mississippi. Was in London in June 2023. Wonderful holiday 🎊

Me too i would love to work on big ben
Fascinated I am about it.

The CORRECT Westminster Chime (O'clock) lyrics:
All through this hour, Lord be my guide, That by thy power, No foot shall slide.
Quarter bells u mean actually
Yeah quarter bells
Yeah quarter bells

My opinion is it will be much more noticeable at night when everyone is in bed asleep
@@stephensnell1379 What do you mean by “everyone is in bed asleep at night”? It’s bloody London!
@@kate_cooper everyone even people in London will go sleep at night meaning the bonging of the bells will be more noticeable
@@stephensnell5707 Yes, people sleep at night but you said “everyone”. There is no point at which everyone is asleep in a modern city. Cities run 24/7.
@@kate_cooper you prune Cities are just the same as Towns and just like town people City people WILL GO TO BED AT NIGHT

endlessly big and expensive as hell. I prefer smaller towns and the countryside.
I never forget the fish and chips I had in Fishguard/Wales.

Why do people ignore the first quarter chime? 00:15 🤡
wow, I never knew 9 pm at GMT was still so bright in London. It's already dark here in Northeast India at GMT + 5:30.
That's because India is a completely different time zone to the UK which uses BST AND GMT
London is a much higher latitude than India the further north you go the longer the summer daylight, conversely in the winter time the sun goes down in the early afternoon by 4:00 p.m. it's dark out already.
I REALLY ABSOLUTELY LOVE BIG BEN in London and I really absolutely miss BIG BEN in London🏫🏫🏫🏫🏫
Shelbie Carter I’ve been to London in the summer last year Big Ben surprised me
Quarter bells never get a rest...
True. They deserve more credit.
Never Dong
They did get a few years of rest :P

Big Ben chimes a little bit faster than The Peace Tower in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. But they both play the same set of chimes.
Alongside thousands of other towers around the world
I wonder was it ever possible to hear Big Ben from nearby Westminster underground station?
My dream is to hear it in real life. I've seen it twice in 4 years (recently it was in scaffolding) but either in 2013, I've never heard it ❤
yeah i've been to london twice, but only seen it once. when i first saw big ben i checked my watch and it was 3:55pm but as it was scaffolding i had to realise i wouldn't hear it chime :(
How I love This Famous Tune:
All through this hour
Lord be my guide
That by thy power
No Foot Shall Slide
That the sound of big ben
And, I think it’s also the sound of The Peace Tower in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Although, I’m not entirely sure about that.
@@christinedubois5954 It's the same
Thanks for the comment! Don't give up hope on London.
You channel old

Nice to hear the New Year Chimes in daylight!
Bruh its noon (12 pm)
At 21:00, why does it look like it's daytime?
@chrisdawson6156, I agree 👍. Big Ben does look much better when he's illuminated at night.
Lyrics:boooooong bong bong booooooong bong bong bong booooooong bong bong bong boooooooong bong bong bong boooooooong!
i love big ben
I love Big Ben too
liliane silva it's a cool London sculpture
Street Spitzley me too
What’s London 2018 without Big Ben I normally cal l it London 2940
1940 sorry I got the date wrong
In my opinion it's better at night because the lights come on
What about quarter to hour chimes?
Who else is watching this while Big Ben is under maintenance?
Capital of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland!
love it love it love it
so. BOOOOOOOOOOOONG. BIG. BEN
The sound of wind was no problem ,made me feel as if I was there.
Soooo great 12:00 #bigben
Me too I love Big Ben thousand trillion
The bell is located inside the belfry and the outside of the belfry is above the clock face which is located easily at the night with the lights in the belfry
But there is a walk way around the outside of the belfry,but no public access so i'm told.
Looks like the clocks leaning from the far out views
What is London without Big Ben’s chimes??. It’s not London 1940
My beloved 1940 of 10 years ❤️
i love london even my antie paula and my uncle carl live there but might her big ben when he was not renevated but not in to winsford

Just a dumb question kind of does the clock Chime 24 hours a day, or does it stop from Midnight until the morning? ?
yolichka1 you should know that it chimes 24 hours a day 7 days each week 365 days a year
It chimes every 15 minutes, every hour of every day
@@OAS15 and it means all year too
@@OAS15 let me correct you there as you made a tiny mistake
It chimes-
Quarter past the hour
Half past the hour
Quarter to the hour
On the hour
@@stephensnell5707In other words: every 15 minutes.
I want to see big ben
Big Ben in London, England
It’s uk
@@r.l.i.m.p5222 you are correct
@@stephensnell1379, ok then
The wind happened to be blowing away from me, so it made it sound like I was far away from the tower.

why don’t you wanna do 01:00am?
B O N G
i live in london aint seen big ben in 5 years think i shouldgo
0:00 HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
I thought it chimed only at important evens not every hour!
Well you are wrong there
Nice!
I don't like the sound of the lowest quarter bell. It seems to me... "Unbalanced"...
Sound like big ban
360p... i know its 2009 but cmon it should be like 480p or 720p
720p and 1080p did not come into Videos until 2018
If you wish to go to London when no covid your lucky year my friends
I call this "game" ...."Who is louder ? " .....
Quarter Bells vs Big Ben

big ben, ya vieron por qué se puso en arreglar, por que si no lo Reparan se cae las manecillas.
As much as I enjoy the chimes of the clock you forgot (Something) :15
P.S. I'm going to London at the end of 2018
