The Tower of London is often identified with the White Tower, the original stark square fortress built by William the Conqueror in 1078. However, the tower as a whole is a complex of several buildings set within two concentric rings of defensive walls and a moat. The tower's primary function was a fortress, a royal palace, and a prison (particularly for high status and royal prisoners, such as the Princes in the Tower and the future Queen Elizabeth I).

The Clock Tower of Westminster is the world's largest four faced chiming clock. It is popularly and universally known as "Big Ben", which is actually the nickname of the main bell housed within the Tower.

Big Ben has also been referred to as The Tower of Big Ben, the Clock Tower of Parliament, Big Tom[citation needed] and, incorrectly, St Stephen's Tower which is actually the spired tower towards the middle of the Palace, the main point of entry for attendees of debates and committees.
