We went for one of the tours round Westminster. It was fabulous, our guide was called Alan and he really knew his stuff. He had been working there for 20 years. The tour lasted about 1.5 hrs and there was a lot of walking to be done. Alan had a great sence of humor and made the history interesting.

Could not go inside the building but it's beautiful architecture..... Must visit due if you want to get few clicks of your with Big Ben in the background ...... Live protests across the road add to the aura .....

She is the Mother of Parliaments - and full of eccentricities.
If you are British, you can ask your local MP to make the arrangements for free, but anyone can pay to tour the buildings that date back in places to 1099.
The tour takes in both Houses of Parliament (always providing the Lords and the MPs are not sitting)....

The Houses of Parliament are a Gothic Revival Masterpiece. Great History and a working seat of government. Very cool.

This is an amazing tour if you can get booked on one. I went through my local MP. I even got a visit to Big Ben, it's a separate tour but a great trip if you can get that too.

This building is so unique and LARGE, it overwhelms you! There is a great spot to take pictures down by the river of Thames in front of Parliament. You have to walk away from Parliament about 1/8 of a mile. Then go down stairs to your right and you will see the picture spot I am referring to! Must see...
