Houses of Parliament

Now better known as the Houses of Parliament, the “Palace of Westminster” was originally the royal residence of Edward the Confessor in 1042. Today it houses the British Parliament, the House of Commons and the House of Lords.

Guided tours are given to give you an idea of how grand this building is with its 1000 rooms and over 2 miles of corridors. The parliamentary sessions are also freely accessible and the sessions of the House of Commons in particular are sometimes quite spectacular.

The Houses of Parliament are right next to Big Ben, Westminster Abbey and on the other side of the Thames the London Eye and SEA LIFE London.
