Just watched the Big Ben Construction to conservation Talk by Catherine Moss. A brilliant piece of work ! She is so knowledgeable. Wow, A normal Londoner ! Such a refreshing change. Why have you kept her and this presentation hidden away so long ?

It is a marvelous example of the architecture and complexity of UK history. You can visit the Houses of Lords and Commons on a guided tour. Take the tour together with the Afternoon Tea, but be sure to have plenty of "space" for all the food. It is a very well organized tour.

Awesome displays and information. Really enjoyed my visit. Could not sit on any of the benches which is reasonable. Sad you could not take photos inside but that is understandable as well.

Really beautiful the view from the opposite side of the Thames. Unluckily the nearby Big Ben was covered but overall the architecture and the composition are good.

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 Palace is mostly under wraps. On the overside of the river you manage a great view, but Elizabeth Tower is covered, as are other parts. You can still see a majority of the building, just not the main attraction.

One of the greatest places I've ever visited! Makes you feel great just being able to relate to the place. Again like others u thought big Ben was a huge clock but in reality my owns clocks was maybe as tall. Unfortunately I visited during the repairs so a lot of it is covered whilst works are undertaken.

A great experience, worth every penny. It's very surreal been in the actual houses of parliament and the house of lords. No photos aloud in the main areas, so this is the best I could manage!
