    Thank you to all of you amazing people across the world for helping me get this video to 100,000 views. As a person from Houston, TX, this was my first time traveling the UK and London was a placed I dreamed of going to since I was a kid, as well as hearing Big Ben chime in person since this trip was actually a Christmas present from my dad a year before we went, and the fact that just a 80 second unedited and uncut video got this amount of views in just a year and a half after I went to the UK as well as almost 1000 likes is something that truly makes my heart melt. Once again, thank you all sincerely for getting this video this popular for me and I can’t wait to continue watching it grow more and more every day and maybe one day, I’ll hopefully go on another vacation back to the UK. You’re all the best. Also, feel free to subscribe and check out my other videos and livestreams if you want. Anyway, thanks for 100K views and God Bless You. Hehe~ 😊🇬🇧

    The pause between the chime and the strike is a matter of how the clock was set up when it was reassembled. The chimes sound great ! Better than ever.

    I was there at 9am today, and I would say with pretty high certainty that all the chimes are considerably quieter than they used to be which is a real shame as they don't cut through across the hustle and bustle of Westminster like they once did ...

      It’s not actually true I know the people who have fixed it and they are actually louder than they have ever been in living memory I guess it just depends on what day you are there. like I walked past it the other day and there was a protest on so I couldn’t even hear it at the base.

      Question from a Canadian who loves England AND who just learned that Big Ben chimes every 15 minutes and every hour................. of every single day....... (sorry here's my question) Doesn't it get annoying? Even an hourly chime alone is a lot. But it chimes every 15 minutes? For eternity? Doesn't it affect people's sleep? Or even their day to day lives?

    I know that throughout the restoration work that Big Ben still rang out at 11am on Remembrance Sunday and Midnight on New Years Eve, but I don't know if it was just the poignancy of Rememberance Sunday, the absence of Her Late Majesty or the whole thing but hearing the Westminster Chines again actually made me cry

    A little too fast if you ask me, I need to go back and check some old recordings I have but I think the timing is off. The seconds between the last chime and the strike if Big Ben is closer. and I think the strikes are closer together. Slower between strikes was better IMO!
