Trivia[]
- Technically, "Big Ben" is the name of the clock's hour bell (said to have been named after Victorian heavyweight boxing champion Ben Caunt), whilst the clock itself is the Great Westminster Clock and the tower was renamed in 2012 as the Elizabeth Tower, in honor of Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee. However, in practice, "Big Ben" has always been used interchangeably for all three.
- In Stig vs Lightning McQueen, Cruz Ramirez refers to it by its real-life name "Big Ben".
- It is based after the real life "Big Ben"
- Inside the clock, there is an inscription saying This clock was made in the year of our Lord 1854 by Harley William, referencing the year were the clock was completed
