London - Parliament

London Day Two:

Took the bus from the hotel to the airport so we could catch the Piccadilly line into London. The first stop was to the city of Westminster to see Parliament and Big Ben.

Where Parliament now stands has been a centre of authority for over a thousand years. Once the home of the royal family, and still officially a royal palace, the buildings that now make up the modern Houses of Parliament have developed through design, accident and attack.
