ποΈ Outstanding! A Majestic Visit to the Houses of Parliament ποΈ

Walking through the House of Commons and House of Lords felt incredible β being able to admire the intricate decorations up close was a real privilege. πͺβ¨ While photography isn't allowed inside the main parliamentary chambers (to protect the historic environment), you can take photos in Westminster Hall β which is absolutely breathtaking with its magnificent hammer-beam roof! πΈπ° The experience of standing where centuries of British history have unfolded is truly humbling. From the beautiful Gothic architecture to the tradition-steeped chambers, every corner tells a story. #HousesOfParliament #LondonHistory #BritishPolitics #Westminster #FamilyDayOut
