Chiming out: London landmark Big Ben falls silent ahead of repairs
One of London’s most familiar tourist attractions has fallen silent ahead of a major repair programme.
Big Ben, which looks down on the UK parliament in Westminster, stopped chiming at midday (British Summer Time) today (August 21).
It’s not expected to sound again until 2021.
The bell is set to be put out of use to allow for repairs to the surrounding Elizabeth Tower.

That sounded simply beautiful wow.
They ought to have recorded the chimes so that they could broadcast them via loudspeakers at the top of Big Ben every hour.
I'm sad about it. I know many arn't bothered because we got mobiles to tell us the time but its still a classic sound of London.
Wait, what? How’s the bell still ringing while the hammer is cut.
It is not gonna chime in the next four years wow lol
