England - London - British Houses of Parliament and Big Ben

The tower containing Big Ben amid the Gothic architecture of Britain's Houses of Parliament. To the left we see the Gothic Revival facade of Westminster Abbey's Henry the VIII's Lady Chapel that juts out on the eastern side towards the Palace of Westminster or The House of Commons, which is the lower house of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, which also comprises the Sovereign and the House of Lords (the upper house). Both Commons and Lords meet in the Palace of Westminster.
