Flat Stanley at Big Ben

Flat Stanley now is standing across the street from Big Ben, one of the best-known buildings in London. Big Ben is actually the clock tower for the Houses of Parliament, the government headquarters (like the U.S. Capitol Building). Big Ben was built in 1858. It is 320 feet tall, and its dials are 23 feet in diameter, its hour hand is 9 feet long and the minute hand is 14 feet long.

When people think of London, they think of Big Ben.
