The Palace of Westminster: Where History & Politics Collide 🏛️🇬🇧

Standing proudly on the Thames’ west bank, the Palace of Westminster (aka Houses of Parliament) isn’t just the heart of British democracy—it’s a Gothic Revival masterpiece dripping with history. Pro tip: Book tickets online in advance—walk-ins aren’t allowed! ✨ Why It’s Iconic Big Ben’s Home: The Elizabeth Tower (yes, that’s its real name!) chimes over London from the northwest corner. 🕰️ Architectural Beast: 1,100 rooms, 100 staircases, and 4.8km of corridors to get lost in (metaphorically). Time-Travel Feels: Walk the crimson-red Lords Chamber and green-hued Commons—where Churchill debated, suffragettes protested, and Brexit headlines were born. Cue dramatic music. 🎭 🎟️ Visiting Essentials Tours: Book a guided tour (or watch debates from the public gallery!). Nearby: Combine with Westminster Abbey or a Thames cruise. Photo Op: Capture the palace lit gold at sunset. 🌇 💡 Insider Notes Prime Minister’s Questions (PMQs): Wednesdays at noon—political theater at its best! Secret Spaces: Ask about the hidden chapel and Victoria Tower’s archives. #London #PalaceOfWestminster #BigBen #UKPolitics #HistoryBuff #ArchitectureLovers
