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..
@@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.

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".
