Elizabeth Tower, originally referred to as the Clock Tower, but more popularly known as ‘Big Ben’ was raised as a part of Charles Barry’s design for a new Palace of Westminster, after the old palace was largely destroyed by fire in 1834.

Although Barry was the chief architect of the neo-gothic palace, he turned to Augustus Pugin for the design of the Clock Tower. Construction began in 1843 and was completed in 1859.

The tower is designed in Pugin's Gothic Revival style and is 316 feet (96.3 m) high making it the third tallest clock tower in the UK.
