A cliché night shot from Westminster Bridge with the light trails from the passing bus - one of those must do shots in London that I had never done before:)
Die wichtigsten Räume des Palastes sind die Ratssäle des House of Commons und des House of Lords. Daneben gibt es rund 1100 weitere Räume, darunter Sitzungszimmer, Bibliotheken, Lobbys, Speisesäle, Bars und Sporthallen.
Westminster Abbey is a London church that is the site of coronations and other ceremonies of national significance. It stands just west of the Houses of Parliament in the Greater London borough of Westminster. Situated on the grounds of a former Benedictine monastery, it was refounded as the Collegiate Church of St. Peter in Westminster by Queen Elizabeth I in 1560. In 1987 Westminster Abbey, St. Margaret’s Church, and the Houses of Parliament were collectively designated a UNESCO World Heritage site.

The Houses of Parliament, otherwise known as the Palace of Westminster, symbolises Great Britain. Its image adorns everything from souvenirs to sauce bottles. And the decisions made in its corridors of power have shaped Britain, past and present.

On The National Register Of Historic Places. Built in 1892. Westminster, CO. The architecture is Richardson Romanesque. It appears to be a somber, medieval place in this image. Alchemy and exorcism are among the subjects taught here. :)
Westminster Abbey, formally titled the Collegiate Church of St Peter at Westminster, is a large, mainly Gothic abbey church in the City of Westminster, London, just to the west of the Palace of Westminster. It is one of the United Kingdom's most notable religious buildings and the traditional place of coronation and burial site for English and, later, British monarchs. Between 1540 and 1556, the abbey had the status of a cathedral. Since 1560, however, the building is no longer an abbey nor a cathedral, having instead the status of a Church of England "Royal Peculiar"—a church responsible directly to the sovereign. The building itself is the original abbey church.
Was wäre London wohl ohne das Parlament und den Big Ben? Nicht nur das Gebäude an sich, sondern auch das Leben drum herum interessiert mich. Wie ist es so unter all diesen berühmten Gebäuden zu Leben? Klar ich komme aus Bayern, bin es also gewohnt mit altem Zeug um mich rum und trotzdem ist London doch eine ganz andere Welt für mich.
What would London probably without Parliament and the Big Ben? Not only the building itself, but also the lives of all around me interested. As it is so famous among all these buildings to life? Clear I come from Bavaria, am so used to the old stuff around me and yet London is but a completely different world for me.

The Palace of Westminster is the meeting place of the Parliament of the United Kingdom and is located in London, England. It is commonly called the Houses of Parliament after the House of Commons and the House of Lords, the two legislative chambers which occupy the building. The palace is one of the centres of political life in the United Kingdom; "Westminster" has become a metonym for the UK Parliament and the British Government, and the Westminster system of government commemorates the name of the palace. The Elizabeth Tower of the palace, nicknamed Big Ben, is a landmark of London and the United Kingdom in general. The palace has been a Grade I listed building since 1970 and part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.
