Talking About Your Hometown

Anyway

Big Ben

This lesson will teach you about London's famous clock, Big Ben, whose bells are now silenced for the next 4 years. London will sound very different! If you have ever visited London, or even if you have looked at pictures of London, then I am pretty sure you have seen Big Ben. It is the most iconic image of London – the huge, ornate clock at the top of the Houses of Parliament in Westminster, and this is why I have decided to make it number 1 in my series of blogs on DailyStep.com about famous British buildings.
