Westminster, London SW1A 0AA, UK
As my schedule was jam packed I did not have the opportunity to visit this palace though I saw the beauty of this Palace from Thames Cruise ride. I quickly took some photographs like many others. A great view of architecture. It was a beautiful morning, the weather was cloudy and had sunny spells sometimes.
Stunningly beautiful building steeped in history, from the original palace which was built in 1047 (I believe) to the houses of commons and lords. Full of history and more being made as we go.... Also if you are lucky enough and able to it is also an amazing venue for a drinks event.
The beautiful Palace of Westminster is a must visit when travelling to UK. There are guided tours available for tourist. A Victorian Gothic masterpiece designed by Sir Charles Barry and A.W. Pugin to replace the medieval parliament buildings, which burnt to the ground in 1834, the Palace of Westminster acts as home to the Houses of Parliament in UK. The Palace was originally a royal residence but when King Henry VIII left Westminster Palace for Whitehall in 1512 the Westminster Palace became the permanent home of Parliament. I would highly recommend a visit 👍
As one of the most important landmark of London, Westminster is the monument of human ingenuity. We went there to admire this beautiful architecture during the day, and in the evening again while we were visiting London. I am posting a night view photo here.
It is not under maintenance works in contrary to big Ben - whole elevation is clearly visible from all angles. The style of this building really impressed me, it is still in such beautiful and good state after so many years. I'll certainly back and visit it inside.
