“Big Ben” Named Britain’s Favourite ‘Landmark’

"Big Ben” was named the country’s favourite landmark in a survey by construction firm Faithful & Gould to celebrate the engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s 202nd birthday. No big surprises there, but what exactly is it that people love about Big Ben? Maybe something to do with the number of times it’s appeared on TV and the big screen - after all, it was voted the most iconic film location in a recent poll!

Other top 10 landmarks include the London Eye, Houses of Parliament and Buckingham Palace.
