Houses of Parliament

The Houses of Parliament, officially known as Westminster Palace, are a majestic symbol of British Monarchy and History. Nested on the banks of the River Thames, this building has served British politics for centuries.

This palace's history goes back over a century, when it was used as a royal palace. However, things took a turn in 1834, when a devastating fire destroyed almost everything of the original structure. The current building is a Gothic revival of the building designed by Sir Charles Barry and Augustus Pugin and completed in 1876.

Today, the House of Parliament serves as the temple of democracy. It is mainly divided into two parts:

1. House of Commons: This chamber houses all the elected members of Parliament who the people of Britain have directly elected. This house is important for the country as all the important debates, lawmaking, and speeches occur there.
2. House of Lords: this chamber incubates the hereditary and life peers the Monarch appoints. While this house has lesser administrative power than the House of Commons, it plays a crucial role in scrutinising the law in debate and providing advice to the members of parliament.

This incredible building is a cultural heritage and houses many iconic structures apart from the two houses. Some of them are:

The Big Ben: This clock tower has stood here for many years, demarcating the flow of time and the legacy of British democracy.

The Portcullis: This medieval gate stands at the entrances of the houses. It is often associated with the protection and security of this building and is an iconic part of this structure.

The Gargoyles: These are grotesque figures carved on the exterior part of the buildings. There is a belief that these figures ward off evil spirits.

You’ll also visit the Central Lobby, the heart of the palace, which is beautifully designed with elaborate stained-glass windows and mosaics that tell the story of Britain’s rich political past.

The Houses of Parliament is the backbone of British democracy. While this place is like the administrative headquarters of the country, it is also open to the public in some ways. Visitors can sometimes take a guided tour of this place, where they can see some of the historic chambers, admire the stunning architecture, and learn how the British parliament works. Visiting this place will allow you to step back in time and enjoy its grandeur.

Getting to the Houses of Parliament is easy. Just take a short walk to Queensway Station to catch the Central Line, which will take you straight to Westminster Station. From there, it’s a quick walk to the palace. You can also hop on one of London’s famous red buses for a scenic ride through the city, letting you see other well-known landmarks along the way.
