London - Palace of Westminster & Big Ben

#eurotrip to London

Palace of Westminster and Big Ben are certainly on top of your list. The Palace of Westminster (informally known as the Houses of Parliament) serves as the meeting place for both the House of Commons and the House of Lords. You can visit the Palace and find out more about the two houses of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.

Did you know you can visit the Palace of Westminster for free, if you are a UK resident! You can book a free ‘Inside UK Parliament’ guided tour by contacting your Member of Parliament (MP) or a member of the House of Lords.

Big Ben is the nickname for the Great Bell (largest of the five bells) of the clock and the actual clock tower is called Elizabeth Tower. The clock tower is a British cultural icon recognised all over the world.

It is one of the most prominent symbols of the United Kingdom and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.
