Details

Most visitors to London intend on taking in all the most famous sites and visiting all the most popular tourist attractions. However, there is one London landmark that even some UK residents are not aware they can visit: The Palace of Westminster (Houses of Parliament). The Houses of Parliament are located entirely within the Palace of Westminster and it is open to the public at various times and prices throughout the year. History, politics, and associations with royalty all come together in a single place, making the Palace of Westminster one of the most interesting stops on a visit to London. Tour begins from outside Green Park Station. Take the exit toward Green Park/Buckingham Palace and meet your guide next the Diana Huntress Fountain and refreshment stand [Not to be confused with the Diana fountain in Kensington Gardens]. Please use our Google map for directions to the tour. Tour ends at the Westminster Tube Station. Please use our Google map directions from the end of the tour.

Policy:

If you wish to sit in the public gallery, it is much more straightforward! Any time either the House of Commons or the House of Lords is in session, the public are allowed to access the building. Sitting times vary, according to the business of the house but a rough guide can be found at: www.Parliament.uk. Occasionally the gallery may be busy and waiting times may be high. However, when you are in the queue, you will be inside the Palace of Westminster and will have access to brochures and leaflets as well as being in contact with helpful ‘visitor assistants’ who work throughout the building. The public is also welcome to attend any committee meetings within the Palace.
