About Houses of Parliament & Big Ben Tour

Houses of Parliament & Big Ben Icons of London

The Houses of Parliament, officially known as the Palace of Westminster, are among the most recognisable landmarks in the world and a powerful symbol of British democracy. Situated on the banks of the River Thames, this magnificent Gothic Revival masterpiece is home to the UK’s two chambers of government: the House of Commons and the House of Lords.

Towering above it stands the world-famous Big Ben, the nickname for the Great Bell inside the Elizabeth Tower. Its iconic chimes have been broadcast globally for over 160 years, making it one of London’s most enduring symbols. Lit up at night, the clock tower is a breathtaking sight and one of the most photographed landmarks in the capital.

Visitors can admire the exterior from Parliament Square or book guided tours inside to explore the historic chambers, ornate lobbies, and Westminster Hall the oldest part of the building, dating back to 1097.

As one of London’s top 30 attractions, the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben are essential stops on any sightseeing itinerary.
