London Film and TV Tour: Westminster Palace!

Westminster Palace is not only the home of the British Parliament and the House of Commons, but also a popular filming location. It has appeared in films such as "007", "Matchstick Men", "V for Vendetta", "The 39 Steps", and more. ► British Parliament House of Parliament ▪ The British Parliament House, also known as Westminster Palace, is one of the representative works of Gothic Revival architecture and was listed as a World Cultural Heritage Site in 1987. Although the palace today is basically rebuilt from the 19th century, it still retains many historical sites from its initial construction. ▪ When you come out of the subway station, you will see many people who can't move when they see Big Ben. In fact, the most beautiful viewing point is on the other side of the river, overlooking the Parliament House and Big Ben! Look at the clouds that are running around, it's too much like an oil painting! ▪ This is also a favorite of photographers. There are quite a few photographers with tripods, and some even stand there, admiring and taking pictures. ► Big Ben ▪ Big Ben, the Gothic Parliament House, and the red double-decker bus form London's unique landmark! ▪ Big Ben is now known as the Elizabeth Tower, a Gothic building, mainly used as a large clock for the bell tower of the British Parliament Hall. Every New Year, people will come here to celebrate, and the radio and TV will broadcast its bell to welcome the beginning of the New Year. ▪ Big Ben rings every hour, lasting more than 2 minutes, and the music is very nice! ► Photo time: 1 hour ► Transportation: Subway
