We visited Parliament on our third trip to London and I only wish we had seen it sooner. What an amazing place! Kudos to the Victorians who were able to save the 11th century Westminster Hall from...

An iconic piece of British history that I really appreciated! It’s amazing the richness of this palace originally built in the Middle Ages and shaped during the centuries. It’s really interesting to enter the House of Lords and the one of commons, analysing the differences. Moreover I suggest to take the audio-guide, so that you’ll not lose any detail or feature of this incredible building.

One of London's landmarks. Charming building of Gothic Revival architecture. Definitely visit it. Photographs inside are not permitted, except in Westminster Hall.
