Advantages: ?????????

Disadvantages: boring

When i visited london last year, Big Ben was on my list of things i "had to see" as it is so well known. but when i saw it i have to admit i was completely dissapointed. I would definately say to those who are thinking of visiting london that this is one thing that can be taken off your list,giveing you more time to spend at the "better " attractions. By all means take a few pictures as you are going past it on a bus etc but i wouldnt waste any time stopping.......

The building-The clock tower is around 316 feet tall and is made up of brick with a stone cladding. it rests on concrete foundations and has a cast iron sphere. Over the years there has been repare work done to it - if it was up to me i wouldnt bother the building is not that great, its not even the largest tunnel clock in the world anymore,so it dosnt have that going for it either

Summary: boring boring
