Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament – also known as the Palace of Westminster – are among London's most famous landmarks, the city’s oldest royal palace, and a World Heritage site. During its lifetime, it’s been a royal residence, a law court and even a prison for menacing MPs. Today, the Houses of Parliament is the beating heart of the British Government.Big Ben is actually the name of the famous bell located within the 96-metre-tall tower, which was renamed Elizabeth Tower in 2012 to commemorate Her Majesty’s diamond jubilee. The current Gothic-style Houses of Parliament you can see today were constructed after a blaze gutted the original palace in the 19th century. Still, the site has been in continuous use since the 11th century.
