Which London monument has been officially known as the Elizabeth Tower?

The Big Ben clock tower in London has been officially known as the Elizabeth Tower since 2012, when it was renamed in honor of the queen’s diamond jubilee. A 5-year silencing of the Big Ben bells for renovation, which started in August 2017, finally ended in summer 2022, according to a New York Times July 3 report.
