One of 5 London landmark kits in the range. This Big Ben kit includes the Palace of Westminster.
Big Ben is one of London's best-known landmarks, the four dials of the clock are 23 feet square, the minute hand is 14 feet long and the figures are 2 feet high. The name Big Ben actually refers not to the clock-tower itself, but to the thirteen ton bell hung within. The bell was named after the first commissioner of works, Sir Benjamin Hall.
The Palace of Westminster, also known as the Houses of Parliament or Westminster Palace, is the meeting place of the two houses of the Parliament of the United Kingdom — the House of Lords and the House of Commons.
