Didn't they do away with Church Bells?
A truly absurd question, but I'm gonna take it seriously.

Bell ringing days at Westminster Abbey

Full-ring sessions, or "peals," can last for an hour or more, particularly for special events.

St Pauls
The three clock bells including Great Tom
Our three clock bells, also in the south west tower, strike the hours and quarters. The largest, Great Tom, weighs over 5 tons and is in A flat.

To be a Cockney, you have to be born within earshot of the Bow Bells
The historic Bow Bells of St Mary-le-Bow Church in London do not ring on the hour, every hour. Instead, they are rung regularly for church services, practices by ringing societies, and to mark the traditional 9 PM curfew. Historically, they are known for signaling the end of an apprentice's working day.

Oldest Church in London, founded in 1123 AD
The clock at St Bartholomew-the-Great in London strikes the hours (not the quarters) daily
between 7 a.m. and midnight.

St Clement Danes on the Strand plays the Oranges and Lemons nursery rhyme and tolls the hour between 08:00 and 21:00.

The list includes 78 churches with bells that chime.
