Big Ben is not the name of a tower

It's a very common mistake, but Big Ben isn't actually the name of London's iconic tower. Big Ben is actually the name of the clock in the tower. Today, even the locals refer to the place as Big Ben Tower. The tower is located at the northern end of the Palace of Westminster in London. From 2012, the object was named Elizabeth Tower, but in the past, the tower was known as the Clock Tower.
