Looks incredible and so much more colorful. Feels like only a year ago when the Big Ben chimed for the last time before repairs began.

One can't help but feel immense pride and joy at the sight of Big Ben, especially if you're a Londoner. Its prestige and grandeur is quite something. Beautiful cultural and historical landmark.

Imagine travelling to London in the old days through pokey little villages and over rolling hills, having never seen anything higher than a few stories and then you get to the capital city and see that beautiful clocktower, would be a sight to behold

Soon the world will hear Big Ben once again. This clock is the face of London and the British Empire and its restoration is important because this clock is their identity.

I went there today and it’s been greatly renovated! It’s very golden now which is absolutely beautiful and a lovely sight

Looked great when I was there a few days ago. Born and bred Londoner, and I used to live opposite it in Waterloo, but still a very special tower everytime I see it.

We have a clock tower here in Nepal too that’s a centuries old, originally inspired by the Ben. Sadly, it’s poorly maintained now.
