        Finally.

        Right, If you walk past this house in London, you'll be clocked by at least 33 CCTV cameras. Who used to live there?

            Nope - the clue is (kind of) in the question. That, and the irony of the answer.

                He probably wasn't known as Big Ben to his mates. Well, perhaps his closest friends.

                But no.

                  We don't have to save the world. The world is big enough to look after itself. What we have to be concerned about is whether or not the world we live in will be capable of sustaining us in it.
                  - Douglas Adams

                    Yes indeed - The connection is the Regents Palace Hotel which used to house both those (competing) nautically named restaurants at either end of the same building.

                    I met my missus in Titanic but that's another story....
