It's a really, really big bell. That is cool. It's inside the Great Westminster Clock tower. That's also really cool.
Also, did you know that the pendula in the clock are still weighted by pennies to fine-tune the balance (as they have been when they built the clock)? The British are apparently big on this tradition.

Big Ben is not cool as it is the name of the bell in the House of Parliament. London is a cool place and the house of Parliament is one of many jewels of London.

Big Ben is the bell. The cool clock tower is called St. Stephen's Tower.

The same as the Eiffel Tower in Paris and The Statue of Liberty on Ellis Island. It's one of the things to see when you are travelling, it's a famous landmark.

It's very big, and it's there. It also has a lot of nice shiny gold paint at the top.

It's much shinier in person. So it is cool to look at.
