The tower is the Elizabeth Tower, so Large Liz might be appropriate. It's been this way since Lizzie's Diamond Jubilee (it's a Brit thing) in 2012.
Big Ben is the largest bell in LL which was often confused for the tower itself, with much media calling the tower Big Ben when it was actually St. Stephen's Tower, or Sizeable Steve
You can call it whatever you want, but you'll have to explain you mean Big Ben, the giant clock tower unless your friend is up on recent Westminster history.
Calling it Elizabeth Tower instead of Big Ben is like calling it X instead of Twitter.
Except that before 2012 it was St. Stephen's Tower. Big Ben was the largest bell in the tower.
If there's some point that the tower was officially named Big Ben I haven't found it. Granted that was the popular nickname of it during the 20th century.
Let's rename it after St Stephen Fry.
As an atheist, I would happily worship him.
I'm not entirely sure I don't already.
Elongated Elizabeth
Enormous Elizabeth could also work I guess.
