Trivia[]
- When looking at the clock tower during the events in December, Touma thinks it is called Big Ben, but also vaguely recalls hearing that it had been renamed.[2] Big Ben is the nickname of the clock's Great Bell, and is a metonym usually extended to refer to both the clock and the clock tower. In real life, the official name for the tower was originally the Clock Tower but it was renamed to Elizabeth Tower in 2012 to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II, though the nickname still remains the most commonly used name for the tower.
