Palace is the
formal name of the 1000-room Parliament complex (it was once a royal abode).
Today
It is used by the House of Commons
(substantial political power) and the House of Lords (scant political power).
Tours

If you are extremely lucky, you will view the
House of Commons in session from the balcony when the opposition grills the Prime Minister with
barbed questions. The debate is gripping.
