TRIVIA ALERT
{Pedantically one can't actually ring Big Ben for a while due to repairs on the tower, or so I am told; and Quasimodo couldn't have swung on the rope , because it is a clockwork mechanism, unlike the Abbey Bells or those at St Paul's where one has to be invited to ring by the very posh and prestigious College of Bellringers.]
