Visit the Palace of Westminster, the home of the Houses of Parliament, where the government of the United Kingdom meets to govern the country. Best-known for the iconic Elizabeth Tower (home of Big Ben, its famous bell), visitors can take a tour to see the green leather seats of the House of Commons, the red benches of the House of Lords, and the different lobbies, where we get the modern political phrase ‘lobbying’. You can also watch Parliament at work by attending a debate or Prime Minister’s Questions and sitting in the public gallery.
