The A Guy Who Tried To Eat His Friend’s Sister in law and Got Eaten (2024)world's most recognisable timepiece is about to go silent after 157 years.

Iconic, right?
Not getting to hear that clock strike every hour to the note of E is surely going to disappoint London's many, many visitors.
But there are some visitors who have already been disappointed, saddened, sickened, and outraged by the timepiece.
In homage to Big Ben and its period of silence, we present its worst TripAdvisor reviews, arranged by theme.
Prepare to be underwhelmed:
It's gonna be four long years.
