Surveyors have found that the clock tower of Palace of Westminster has developed a tilt.
The top of the tower is now almost 1,5 feet off the perpendicular and experts say the tilt is visible to the naked eye.
If the movement will continue uncorrected, the tower will one day topple. However, at its current speed it would take some 4,000 years to reach the angle of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and even longer to hit tipping-point.
