Everywhere is just awesome, beautiful buildings, and craftsmenship. People there were so helpful and accommodating. Every just saw beauty.
Very nice experience. We did the audio tour which I think is detailed enough and you still get up close to the commons and lords. Limited photography is allowed.
Great tour of the Houses of Parliament. Get to see both the House of Commons and House of Lords. Security line is a bit long and it is fairly crowded inside but the tour allows you to see exactly where the Lords and MPs do their actual work and not from afar. Building also has many interesting facts that people wont get to know about unless they visit. I showed up late for my tour but the staff were able to accommodate me on a following tour instead of not being able to go on a tour entirely.
Beautiful historical building. I had a family tour which I thought could have been a bit more evenly split with facts and details to suit everyone, not just little kids. Perhaps should have been entitled childrens tour. I would've loved to have taken more photos, but so many restrictions were imposed. I would love to go again with an adult guided tour package.
Often one of the first images that springs to mind when you think of London, the House of Parliament which rests upon the banks of the River Thames in Westminster. Also referred to as the Palace of Westminster, this is an incredibly popular attraction alongside the Elizabeth Tower and the historic and important Westminster Abbey found just behind the Palace. The House of Parliament was built between 1840-1870 after its predecessor was destroyed by fire in 1834. It is a lovely building, with an elaborate Gothic style exterior and it is a beautiful building to see up close. However, for better pictures, it is best to put a bit of distance between yourself and the Palace. We particularly enjoy views from across the River Thames where you can see the Palace building clearly with the river in the foreground. At dusk, the House of Parliament is lit by floodlights, allowing it to radiate against the skyline. This continues through the night and views of the building are from across the river as well as the entire walk towards across Westminster Bridge as you approach the Palace building. Obviously, views from the London Eye capsules are quite impressive as well. Visits to the Parliament Building can be arranged for overseas visitors on Saturdays and weekdays when Parliament isn't in session. Refer to the Parliament website for details. When visiting, its also worth your time to make a quick visit to Parliament Square, which boasts many statues and monuments to important historic figures. You will also want to visit the impressive Westminster Abbey as well. Collectively, this makes a great way to spend 2-3 hours in London before moving onto other areas.
