Big Ben is under construction until 2021 and to celebrate the landmark's 160th anniversary with an up-to-date representation, HP Sauce is introducing a new label to show an accurate representation of the iconic structure in its current state. Big Ben has been shown on the packaging for HP Sauce for well over 100 years, representing what is one of the most Instagrammed landmarks in the UK.
While Big Ben won't be restored to its former glory for a few more years, locals and tourists can appreciate the updated condiment bottle as a keepsake of the period of maintenance work.
Speaking for HP Sauce, Joel Hughes notes: "While Ben has a face-lift, and because we’re a good and honest sauce, we thought it was high time we showcased the true view and created a label that showcases parliament and Big Ben in their scaffolded glory."
