The Great Clock of the Elizabeth Tower froze on Wednesday and the famous bell failed to chime.
The Great Clock of Westminster, which contains Big Ben, has stopped ticking for the second time in a week.
Part of the Elizabeth Tower, the clock was unveiled earlier this year after a five-year £80m refurbishment. Clock hands on all four sides halted for about half an hour from 09:00 BST on Wednesday, and the Big Ben bell failed to produce its famous "bong". They told the BBC these issues were all part of the "bedding-in" process, as bearings and other components wear in.
