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.

At Big Ben Coaches, we take great pride in sharing our namesake landmark with visitors from around the world. Our luxury Mercedes-Benz fleet and professional drivers provide safe, punctual, and comfortable travel directly to Westminster, where groups can also explore nearby highlights such as Westminster Abbey, St James’s Park, and the River Thames.

Travel with Big Ben Coaches for a seamless London sightseeing experience, and see the landmarks that define not only the capital, but the nation itself.

Houses of Parliament & Big Ben Tour in Wembley

Wembley is one of London’s best-known event districts, recognised around the world for its stadium skyline and its role in hosting major national and international occasions. The area has grown from a suburban pocket of northwest London into a modern destination that combines large-scale venues, hotels, shopping, and transport links, making it a natural focal point for big gatherings, tours and school trips.

Historically, Wembley developed rapidly in the 20th century as rail connections improved and the original Wembley Stadium became a symbol of British sport and national events. The current stadium, with its striking arch, continues that legacy as the home of key football finals, international matches and ceremonial occasions, while the wider Wembley Park regeneration has turned former exhibition grounds into a mixed-use neighbourhood with new homes, public spaces and visitor facilities.

Culturally, Wembley is closely associated with live music, sport and entertainment. Wembley Stadium and nearby venues host major concerts, festivals and shows that attract fans from across the UK and abroad, and match days bring clubs, supporters and schools into the area for football and other sporting fixtures. Around the venues, visitors find shops, restaurants, bars and open spaces that support pre‑ and post‑event meetups, making Wembley a place where large groups naturally gather and move together.

For group travel, Wembley’s event-focused character means reliable transport is essential. Big Ben Coaches supports schools, clubs, corporate teams and event attendees with comfortable coach hire to and from Wembley for match days, concerts, tours and multi‑stop London itineraries. By offering planned pickup points, modern vehicles and drivers used to event traffic, Big Ben Coaches helps groups arrive together, leave efficiently after busy fixtures, and connect Wembley with hotels, airports and other parts of London in a smooth, organised way.
