Palace of Westminster
At the time indicated, we'll meet at the Westminster Abbey gift shop. Once we're all gathered, we'll have a short introduction as we head to Palace of Westminster, also known as the Houses of Parliament. Are you ready to learn all about one of the most important places in London?
Once at the entrance, your guide will give you an audio guide to explore the inside of this gothic Victorian building, home to the two houses that compose the British Parliament: the House of Lords and the House of Commons. With the Victoria Tower and the Elizabeth Tower, the Houses of Parliament have been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
Built in the 11th century as a royal palace on the northern side of the River Thames, this monument has been the centre of many historical events, from a fire in 1834 when only the Jewel Tower, the Undercroft Chapel, the Cloisters and Chapter House of St Stephen's and Westminster Hall survived, to conspiracies, drastic changes in government and endless debates.
In addition, one of its greatest tourist attractions is at the top of the Queen Elizabeth Tower: Big Ben. Thanks to the audio guide, we'll also learn all about the most famous clock in London. This is unarguably the symbol of the British capital.
