Houses of Parliament

Free guided tours of Parliament are available to constituents who are UK residents. The walking tour of the Palace of Westminster includes -

  • Westminster Hall, the ancient hall at the heart of the Palace where Parliament first sat and where many historic events have taken place
  • The House of Commons, including the Speaker's Chair and the famous green benches and the 'lobbies' where MPs vote
  • The House of Lords, including the Royal Throne
  • The Queen's Robing Room, Royal Gallery and many other fascinating parts of the Palace of Westminster

Please note that tours are very popular and places are limited so generally have to be booked about six months in advance.

Occasionally there is availability at short notice for tours within the next 4 weeks. Please fill out this form to request one of these tours.
