Big Ben
The name of this celebrated tower refers to its largest, 13-ton bell. Since 1859, Big Ben has symbolized Britain's parliament and the role it has played in bringing democracy to the world; an ideal that is reflected in Bagehot's quote, the words of which also recognize the pinnacle of sport that is achieved during the London Olympic Games.
