Leaning Tower of London

TOWER giant clock Big Ben in London seemed tilted toward the south and can be seenwith the naked eye. Construction experts say, the tip of the tower was leaning about 45 cmfrom the perpendicular. 


The slope can be clearly seen when we faced the east ofParliament Square. "When the acceleration of the slope increases, the handling should be done immediately, but I guess it will not happen in the next few years," said John Burland, a senior researcher from Imperial College of London.
