Westminster Palace, known
also as the
Houses of Parliament, is the seat of the two Houses of the
Parliament of the United Kingdom, the House of Lords and the House of
Commons. Although the oldest part of the Palace dates from 1097, most of
it was rebuilt in neo-Gothic architecture from the year 1840, following
a major fire in 1834. One of the Palace's most famous features is the
clock tower, often named after the famous bell Big Ben that is housed
within.
Lilliput
Lane's "Houses of Parliament" is based on the Palace of
Westminster which also has "Big
Ben"
