Big Ben to be renamed "Elizabeth Tower"? How does the general public like that?

Really!! I can't believe they'd do that! It will always be Big Ben though.

It's just the tower that's been renamed.

Thanks, Jill. Didn't mean to neglect asking you too! Has the tower always had a different name?

Yes, it was always different. It really is just called 'the clock tower' although some people think it's called St.Stephen's tower.
It really has a proper name now

St Stevens tower is the middle tower - I hadn't heard about it being renamed so thanks all for updating me! Big Ben will still be Big Ben.
love and kisses, Jan
