Palace of Westminster

A well worn subject taken from an unusual viewpoint, this is a post WW2 photograph which shows the scaffolding surrounding the chamber of the House of Commons which was destroyed by enemy action during the war. To the left of the Victoria Tower is the faint outline of St. John's in Smith Square, nicknamed the 'Upturned Foot Stool' now a deconsecrated church which is used as a recital hall. Best of all, there are no high rise buildings, Portcullis House or the Millennium Wheel.
