Houses of Parliament

The Houses of Parliament, located in London, is the UK’s principal legislative body. It consists of two chambers: the House of Commons, made up of Members of Parliament (MPs) elected by the public, and the House of Lords, which includes appointed members and bishops. Together, they create, amend, and debate laws. The iconic building, known for its Gothic architecture and the famous Big Ben clock tower, also serves as a symbol of British democracy and governance. It plays a crucial role in shaping national policies and representing the interests of citizens.
