London: Don't set your watch by Big Ben.
Big Ben is the name of the bell on the clock tower that rises over the British Parliament buildings on the banks of the River Thames in London, England. The bell was cast in 1859 and rings every hour.
Officials say the famous clock at Britain's Parliament — used by Londoners for decades to check the time — has recently been slow by as much as six seconds.
The 156-year-old clock chimes every 15 minutes and emits deep bongs to mark the hour. Its inaccuracy was noticed by staff at BBC radio, which broadcasts the bongs live at
6 pm.
