Hi - planned a trip to London and my son is desperate to hear the great bell ring at noon. We don't want to go inside the Elizabthen tower and rather view the clock and hear the chimes from outside. Does anyone know how close you can actually get and where's the best place to stand for a good view. Thanks

Is it open for visitors in 2023? The renovation has finished in 2022 and yet the Parliament's website says "During the conservation work on Big Ben, we have paused tours of Parliament's clock tower. " Nonsense.
