Another edition of look around London.
Transcript
00:00Hello and welcome to another edition of Look Around London.
00:03The Houses of Parliament, also known as the Palace of Westminster, sit on the north bank
00:08of the River Thames in central London.
00:11This is the heart of British democracy, home to the House of Commons and the House of Lords.
00:17The original palace was a royal residence dating back to the 11th century, but much
00:22of it was destroyed in a fire in 1834.
00:25The iconic Gothic structure we see today was designed by architect Charles Barry, with
00:30interiors by Augustus Pugin.
00:32It includes famous landmarks like Big Ben, officially the Elizabeth Tower and Westminster Hall, which
00:38survived the fire and dates back to 1097.
00:42Parliament has been the site of major moments in British history, from the trial of Charles
00:46I in 1649 to Churchill's wartime speeches and modern day politics.
