One of the first iconic structures that we will see is the London Eye! And after that we move on:
The House of Parliament
The Palace of Westminster is the
meeting place of the House of Common and the House of Lords, the two houses of
the Parliament of the United kingdom. Better known as the Houses of Parliament
after its occupants, the palace lies on the north bank of the River Thame in
the city of Westminster which is located in central London. The name is derived
from the neighbouring Westminster Abbey. It may refer to either two structures:
the Old Palace, a medieval building complex destroyed by fire in 1834, and its
replacement the New Palace that still stands today. It is owned by the monarch
in right of the Crown and for ceremonial proposes, retains its original status
as a royal residence. The building is managed by committees appointed by both
houses, which report to the Speaker of the House of Commons and the Lord
Speaker. The Palace is one of the centres of
political life in the United Kingdom.
