Description
Clouds wizz past Big Ben and the Palace of Westminster in London, United KingdomThe Palace of Westminster is the meeting place of the two houses of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. The Palace lies on the Middlesex bank of the River Thames in the City of Westminster, in central London. The original palace was destroyed by a fire. The subsequent competition for the reconstruction of the Palace was won by architect Charles Barry and his design for a building in the Perpendicular Gothic style.Construction started in 1840 and lasted for thirty years, suffering great delays and cost overruns, as well as the death of the leading architect.
