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.

Houses of Parliament & Big Ben Tour in Wimbledon

Wimbledon is one of London’s most recognisable and well-loved areas, known around the world as the home of the Wimbledon Championships while also offering village charm, open green spaces and a strong local heritage. Located in southwest London, it blends international sporting fame with a quieter residential character, making it attractive for visitors, school groups, corporate travellers and private tours alike.

The history of Wimbledon reaches back far beyond modern tennis. Archaeological evidence points to settlement in the area since at least the Iron Age, and Wimbledon Common still carries traces of its ancient past. Over time, the district evolved from rural land and country estates into a prosperous London suburb, while Wimbledon Village retained much of its older character through historic streets, local institutions and preserved green surroundings.

Culturally, Wimbledon is much more than a sporting destination. The All England Lawn Tennis Club and its world-famous tournament remain the area’s defining global landmark, drawing visitors from across the world every summer and giving Wimbledon a unique place in British sporting culture. Beyond tennis, the area is known for Wimbledon Village, Wimbledon Common, Cannizaro Park, the Wimbledon Museum, local theatres, art spaces and heritage attractions such as the Windmill Museum and Buddhapadipa Temple. These places help make Wimbledon a destination for sightseeing, education, leisure and family visits throughout the year, not only during championship season.

For group travel, Wimbledon is well-suited to sporting events, school outings, cultural visits, business journeys, and private tours. Big Ben Coaches provides dependable coach hire in Wimbledon with modern Mercedes-Benz vehicles and professional drivers, helping groups travel smoothly to tennis events, museums, parks, hotels and venues across London. Whether your journey is for a school trip, corporate event, sightseeing programme or seasonal sports travel, we help make travel in and around Wimbledon comfortable, organised and reliable.
