Big Ben & Houses of Parliament

Reachability:
London underground station Westminster, Circle Line & District Line, Zone 1

Opening times:
At any time, you can visit the Big Ben clock tower and the building of the Houses of Parliament from the outside. The Houses of Parliament is open for tours almost every Saturday and on several weekdays during parliamentary holidays. (Link with current dates below)

My Tip:
If you are looking for a good photo spot for the Big Ben, you should check the view from the nearby Westminster Bridge. This is also a good location to listen to the famous bell sounds at every full hour. Visitor Info:

When can you visit it?
Where do you have the best view?

The visit of the Big Ben clock tower is possible with a guided tour. It costs around £ 35.00 and requires a bit of fitness, as you have to climb more than 330 steps. Unfortunately, the Big Ben tour is very popular and therefore is usually sold out for several months in advance. As the Big Ben is normally included in a typical sightseeing program, you should at least admire it from the outside. I can recommend the following places for a good view of this well known photo motif: Albert Embankment(opposite River Thames bank), Westminster Bridge, Victoria Embankment crossing Bridge Street and Parliament Square.

At the Houses of Parliament you can choose between various possibilities for a tour. You can watch some committees and debates for free in the House of Commons and the House of Lords. These take place during the week. No meetings are held on Saturdays and during the summer break from the end of July until the beginning of October. On some of those days you have the opportunity to visit certain premises of the parliament at an English guided tour or with an audio guide. The audio guide is available in 9 different languages. The guided tour costs approx. 34.00 £ and a visit with the audio guide approx. 27.00 £. The visitor entrance for the Houses of Parliament is located in the St Margaret Street. Links with details and current times are available below.

My Tip: You should not only have a look at the Big Ben, you should also hear this attraction. The famous Westminster chime sounds at the beginning of each full hour before the bell rings the number of hours. The Westminster Bridge is a good place for that. From there, you can also enjoy the view and shoot souvenir photos of the Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament. It is beautevol built
