Big Ben

Visit Big Ben

Big Ben is a big place and I think everyone should visit it at least once in their lifetime. It's a beautiful place filled with historical significance!

However, there is a few rules for traveling to Big Ben, before we begin to bear down on Big Ben.

• All visitors allowed on Elizabeth Tower/Big Ben tours must be UK residents. There are no exceptions to this.
• Visitors must be over 11 years old.
• Visitors must be able to climb all 334 steps unaided without assistance.
• Visitors with heart-related illness or who are in the later stages of pregnancy will not be allowed.
• Visitors must arrive with sensible footwear, or they will be declined their position on the tour.

There is another rule though, and that's that Big Ben is sadly closed until 2021. It needs maintenance due to not being in a good condition. There's good news though. On major holidays (e.g. Christmas, Easter) the bell will still be ringing due to cultural significance.
