The famous clock tower was joined between 8.12am and 8.15am by bells nationwide as they participated in Turner Prize-winning artist Martin Creed's project entitled 'Work No.1197': All the bells in a country rung as quickly and as loudly as possible for three minutes'.
Special permission had to be gained for the Big Ben hour bell to be allowed to toll out of its regular sequence.
It is believed to be the first time that the Big Ben has been rung outside its normal schedule since February 15 1952, when it tolled every minute for 56 strokes for the funeral of King George VI.
The bells at the National Assembly for Wales, Stormont in Northern Ireland and the Scottish Parliament also rang so that all four Parliaments chimed in unison at 8.12am, London 2012 said.
