The Houses of Parliament
Overview
Guy Fawkes once tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament and, whilst you won't find any gunpowder there anymore, it is still home to the UK government and some often explosive discussions between the prime minister and opposition leaders. Arguably one of Britain’s most iconic buildings, you can watch debates or committee hearings or take a tour.
