THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT
The site of the Houses of Parliament is the Palace of Westminster, a royal palace and former residence of kings. Its existing buildings contain nearly 1,200 rooms, 100 staircases and well over 3 kilometers (2 miles) of passages.
The House of Lords and the House of Commons conduct their sittings here.
The oldest part of the Palace still in existence, Westminster Hall, dates from 1097. The palace originally served as a royal residence, but no monarch has lived in it since the 16th century. Most of the present structure dates from the 19th century, when the Palace was rebuilt after it was almost entirely destroyed by a fire in 1834. The architect responsible for rebuilding the Palace was Sir Charles Barry and Augustus Welby Pugin.

ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL
The current Cathedral – the fourth to occupy this site – was designed by the court architect Sir Christopher Wren and built between 1675 and 1710 after its predecessor was destroyed in the Great Fire of London.
11743291957656In the crypt are effigies and fragments of stone that pre-date the Cathedral, relics of a medieval world. From Wren’s original vision, Jean Tijou’s beautiful wrought iron gates of 1700 still separate the quire from the ambulatory; children still test the acoustics in the Whispering Gallery; and the 1695 organ which Mendelssohn once played is still in use.
TRAFALGAR SQUARE & NELSON'S COLUMN
