Royal Westminster

We'll start with the royal residences! St James's Palace (built by Henry VIII for Anne Boleyn), Clarence House (the King's current home in London), and of course Buckingham Palace (the administrative centre of the Monarchy since the 1800s). Then on to the Palace of Westminster, since 1512 the seat of the two Houses of Parliament: the Lords and the Commons. We'll review (from the outside) this fascinating complex, along with Parliament Square, which frames the area and includes wonderful views of Big Ben!
