On June 2, 2012, to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Elizabeth II’s throne accession, Big Ben was officially renamed as Elizabeth Tower.
Our products are designed to provide joy and beauty in the everyday life while still being steeped in London's unique heritage and culture - we make it easy for you to bring some of this charm into your life! As well as the tower itself you get a selection of characters associated with it, such as Winston Churchill, a policeman, a punk and someone who bears an uncanny resemblance to Boris Johnson.The clock tower is at the north-eastern end of the building, the home of the Houses of Parliament, and contains the famous striking clock and bell. The model of Big Ben walked down the road from TC to the Broadcast Centre when ‘Pres’ was expelled from the Corporation and sat proudly on display in the Red Bee boardroom alongside the remaining examples of mechanical models of the BBC 1 globe and a BBC 2 symbol. Serving as one of the world's most famous landmarks, London's Big Ben is lovingly recreated in a heavy duty diecast metal. However, both were built as 12 x 9 electro-mechanical masterpieces by Murray Andrews to fit into ‘Noddy’. My recollection of the big ‘2’, and the reversed-out globule of BBC-1 was that both were designed by John Aston.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. I got irritated one year when I was in charge on that evening that it never looked real, so stuck it up on a rostrum high enough to shoot up at it, and had the S Tel E light it with a lot of yellow to give that sodium street light feel. If you share your network connection, ask your administrator for help — a different computer using the same IP address may be responsible. It was my job to provide the shot of the clock against a black background, just in case they could not cut to the real thing at midnight.However it was an extremely realistic model, no one would have noticed if it had been used, so I wonder if it ever was, and what happened to it. We keyed the aeroplanes over the face of Big Ben, to the annoyance of Isobel McDonald, our network director next door.
