Big Ben is the nickname for the Great Bell housed in the Elizabeth Tower at the Palace of Westminster in London, and its chimes have been broadcast as a symbol of the city and of British timekeeping. Because the sound is recognised around the world even by people who have never visited London, creators reuse it online to set a location instantly, signal midnight, or add a sense of ceremony. Short clips like this one circulate on soundboards because they capture several tolls in a few seconds, making them easy to drop into edits without needing a full recording.
