BIG BEN

Big Ben

Many may not know that Big Ben is actually the nickname of the largest bell located inside Elizabeth Tower as it is officially named. Completed in 1859, the tower is 335 feet tall and is part of the Palace of Westminster. Throughout the years, the clock has had its share of malfunctions and breakdowns usually due to environmental factors. The clock is currently undergoing major renovation and will not resume tolling until 2021.

As part of your mission, you have scored credentials for unprecedented access to the clock tower and an engineer’s drawing of the clock gears. You climb the endless stairs until you reach the clock face and mechanisms. The complicated gears move loudly and you are glad the bells won’t be blaring while you are there. You examine the intricate machinery as one of Lockhart’s chumps approach you. Again, you must provide a password to acquire the next diamond.
