I saw where Space Fetus said Elizabeth Tower is called Big Ben. Well, I have an explanation
Big Ben is the nickname for the Great Bell of the clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London and is usually extended to refer to both the clock and the clock tower. The official name of the tower in which Big Ben is located was originally the Clock Tower, but it was renamed Elizabeth Tower in 2012 to mark the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II.

And search just "Big Ben" and what do you get?
This is when I searched, "Is Big Ben the tower or bell?": The Houses of Parliament and Elizabeth Tower, commonly called Big Ben, are among London's most iconic landmarks and must-see London attractions. Technically, Big Ben is the name given to the massive bell inside the clock tower, which weighs more than 13 tons (13,760 kg).
It's a tall skinny thing in England that tells time. As long as you both know you're talking about the same thing, what does it matter what the given name is?
