About this activity
Visit: Houses of Parliament, Parliament Square, London SW1A 0AA England
Explore the history of London's most politically hallowed ground on this behind-the-scenes parliament tour. Head inside the Palace of Westminster as other visitors are going home for the day, stand in an empty House of Lords, take a guided walk in the footsteps of Queen Elizabeth, and hear your footsteps echo through the halls.
Polish your crowns, it's time for a royally uncommon tour.
Starting in Westminster Hall, explore the oldest parts of the palace, and make your way to the Royal Staircase. Here you'll follow the route the Queen takes (doing her customary wave) on her annual State Opening of Parliament.
Walk through the building's most impressive rooms, including the Queen's Robing Room, the Royal Gallery, and the Prince's Chamber.
Thanks to after-hours access, you'll encounter striking art and architecture and an almost empty House of Lords and House of Commons.
Get up close to some beautiful works of architecture and art by the likes of Augustus Pugin, Sir Charles Barry, Professor William Dyce, Daniel Maclise and more, with no annoying crowds blocking your view.
