Since Big Ben and the Elizabeth Tower are landmarks in London, millions of people see them each year.
Residents of the UK may arrange to tour the Elizabeth Tower and climb up the stairs, but tours must be arranged through their local MP or a Member of the House of Lords whom they know.
No specific visitor number information can be found, however, there are three tours per week day, excluding Bank Holidays. An estimated number would be that about 75,000 people are actually able to tour the Elizabeth Tower and climb the stairs each year.
Big Ben is actually the nickname of the 14 ton Great Bell, but has over the years, incorrectly referred to the tower and clock as well.

∙ 12y agoTechnically, very few people see Big Ben as that's the name of the bell in the Clock Tower which is part of the Palace of Westminster. To actually see the bell, an appointment and some stamina is required to climb up 334 steps.
Six million people visit London each year, and most of them will visit Westminster and see the clock tower.
