A truly stunning and historic place in London. The Palace of Westminster has beautiful architecture and an amazing atmosphere. Walking around the area feels very special, especially with the view of the River Thames and Big Ben nearby. A must-see landmark for anyone visiting London!

British Parliament - House of commons and house of lords are both in this building. I visited this place last month. This spot looks very nice beside big bang. Outside and inside both infrastructures are very nicely built & designed. Again I have to go to this palace for a summit. Planning for next month to visit British Parliament...

What a great place to learn about British history and political decisions. Really enjoyed the audio guided tour and provided details. Also great to enter the rooms and halls were British politics is made and laws are passed. Great staff as well helping to explain and support.

Inspired and clean. Note that on 23April2026, the clockface facing Parliament Square was stuck at "12"... So much for an (otherwise really superb) multimillion pound refurb in recent years. But it now shines in the sunshine. Visiting it for the first time? Want the best "oh wow!" reaction? Arrive on the District Line into Westminster Tube station and walk up the stairs beneath Portcullis House to street level.
