London
Houses of Parliament by air
Photo: Aerofilms. Strangely, to my mind anyway, it was printed in Spain.
Westminster Palace, Westminster Abbey, and St Margaret’s Church together encapsulate the history of one of the most ancient of parliamentary monarchies of present times and the growth of parliamentary and constitutional institutions.I used to walk past the Houses of Parliament quite frequently for one reason or another, and I would see them from the train going to and from London. I never tired of the sight.
The Palace is one of the most significant monuments of neo-Gothic architecture, as an outstanding, coherent and complete example of neo-Gothic style.
Westminster is a place in which great historical events have taken place which have shaped the English and British nation.

ReplyDelete@Martin, it's a fascinating area, so full of history, and you never know who you're going to see.
