鐘の修復は2021年に終わる予定だが、特別な場合は修理期間中でも鐘は鳴らされることが決まっている。

国会議事堂のあるウェストミンスター宮殿に付属する時計台は、英国の主な象徴の一つである。毎正時に鐘をハンマーが叩き、また15分の間隔をあけて他の複数の鐘が鳴る。

Westminster's Elizabeth Tower, one of Britain's most cherished tourist attractions, is due for conservation work and the clock's bells, including Big Ben, are set to stop ringing for four years. Under current plans, the last bong before the refurbishment will be at 12 pm (1100 GMT) on August 21, although the bells would still ring important occasions such as Remembrance Sunday and New Year's Eve.

修復の開始は大時計の検査の結果決まった。振り子、時計装置そのもの、さらに搭の建物も修理が必要なことが判明している。
