Photos of Palace of Westminster

The seat of the British Parliament (including the House of Lords and the House of Commons), it was listed as a World Heritage Site in 1987 and one of the masterpieces of Gothic Revival architecture. The entire parliament building covers an area of 30,000 square meters, with a total length of 3 kilometers of corridors, a total of 1,100 rooms and more than 100 stairs. You can book a trip through the official website to visit attractions such as Westminster Hall. During the deliberation of the upper and lower councils, it is forbidden to enter in the form of tours, but you can join them in the form of audition and deliberation, provided there is a free auditorium. In a fire in 1834, the palace was almost destroyed, leaving only Westminster Hall. After that, it took several years to rebuild to its current size. The House of Parliament that everyone sees today is the well-known Gothic building, with a pin tower-like spire, designed by Charles Bailey. The famous Big Ben is the symbol of the Houses of Parliament. You can take pictures with the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben on Westminster Bridge, or climb the London Eye for a panoramic view of the buildings.
