The UK Parliament is one of the oldest
representative assemblies in the world and is the seat of the
Government of the United Kingdom. Edward the Confessor had the
original palace built in the eleventh century.
The site of the Houses of Parliament is the Palace of
Westminster, a royal palace and former residence of kings. The
layout of the Palace is intricate, with its existing buildings
containing nearly 1,200 rooms, 100 staircases and well over 3
kilometers (2 miles) of passages. Among the original historic
buildings is Westminster Hall, used nowadays for major public
ceremonial events.
During the Summer Recess the Palace of Westminster, home to the
House of Lords and the House of Commons is open for a one hour
guided tour, which includes both Chambers and other great State
Rooms.
The tour starts at Victoria Tower and ends in Historic
Westminster Hall.
Language tours also available in French, German, Spanish &
Italian daily
(please check times).
