It held these functions until the terrible fire of 1834, which almost entirely destroyed the palace. All that remains of this period is the <strong>Westminster Hall<\/strong>the Joyaux tower and the crypt of the Saint-Etienne chapel.<\/p>\n<p>Rebuilt in 1840 in a neo-Gothic style, it took on its current form, with <strong>its wide stone fa\u00e7ade<\/strong> and its main towers: the Queen Victoria Tower (98.5 metres high), the Central Tower (91.4 metres high) and the most famous of them all, the Clock Tower (96.3 metres high), renamed the <strong>Elisabeth Tower<\/strong> during the Queen's jubilee in 2012, where the Big Ben bell is located!<\/p>\n<p>It's a <strong>visit not to be missed<\/strong> in London, for this building listed as a World Heritage Site since 1987.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Westminster facts and figures \u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>There are more <strong>1,000 pieces<\/strong> in this vast Palace of Westminster, spread over 3 floors<\/li>\n<li>Westminster Hall dates from <strong>1097<\/strong> and is the oldest piece still visible.<\/li>\n<li>There are <strong>4.8 kilometers<\/strong> corridors!<\/li>\n<li>The building appears in many popular works, such as the films <em>Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix<\/em>, <em>V for Vendetta<\/em> or even <em>Dark Hours<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-79\" src=\"https:\/\/bonjourlondres.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/westminster.jpg\" alt=\"westminster\" width=\"550\" height=\"316\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bonjourlondres.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/westminster.jpg 550w, https:\/\/bonjourlondres.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/westminster-300x172.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><br \/>\n<a name=\"2\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What can you see at Westminster? \u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If the outside is already very impressive, it's when you step inside the Palace of Westminster that you get the full measure of the place.

Recently, it was used as a mourning room for the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II. Walk through it, raising your head, to discover its impressive ceiling.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The House of Commons<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The House of Commons, with <strong>its ubiquitous green color<\/strong>This room can accommodate 437 members of the assembly (out of a total of 646). Members of the government sit to the right of the president, opponents to the left, so they can quarrel while facing each other!<\/p>\n<p>Once a week, the room is used for Questions to the Prime Minister; and it's worth noting that this room is off-limits to sovereigns!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The House of Lords<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This is certainly Westminster's most impressive room, at least in terms of decoration. It is 24.4 m long and 13.7 m wide, and at the end of the room you can see <strong>the golden royal throne<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Many official ceremonies take place in this chamber, including the traditional opening of Parliament every year.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>St Stephen's Chapel<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It's worth a look for its statues and the superb paintings on the wall, as well as for its historical importance. Indeed, before the great fire of 1834, this was the place where members of the House of Commons met. It was rebuilt a few years after its destruction, in <strong>the exact location<\/strong> and its crypt has survived.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Royal Gallery<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Like the superb works of art in the collection at <a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourlondres.fr\/en\/windsor-castle\/\">Windsor Castle<\/a>The Royal Gallery (originally called <strong>Victoria Gallery<\/strong>) some 450 works of art dot its walls.<\/p>\n<p>The two major canvases decorate the long walls and depict the famous battles of <strong>Trafalgar<\/strong> and <strong>Waterloo<\/strong>\u00a0!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The central lobby<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A central room, an obligatory passageway to some of Westminster's most important rooms.
