This is actually Queen Elizabeth Tower...Big Ben is the bell inside...:) Great image though Stephen I would say looking at the shadows it was taken about 6:50?

Thank you Mark. It was St. Stephen's Tower when I took the photo, but the great majority call it Big Ben. Yes I know it is wrong, but I wonder what would happen if we did a search for St Stephen's Tower in POE?

The name of the tower is no longer the Clock Tower and is now the Elizabeth Tower. It was called St Stephen's Tower by Victorian journalists. They referred to anything to do with the House of Commons as news from 'St Stephens', as originally MP's used to sit in St Stephen's Hall.
