House of Lords
 

Does anyone know if there is still a viewing area for tourists at the House of Lords. I remember years ago on a student trip having seen a bit of a session of the House of Lords and found it to be quite interesting to see. Now I'm going with my own kids and I think it would be interesting for them since they have studied some British Parliamentary history. Hope someone can help with that! Thanks

By the way, how many holes DOES it take to fill?... : )

Sorry, I was thinking of the Albert Hall. Rough day!

Yes - and if they are both in session, you can view both the House of Lords and the House of Commons. With access to both houses, you will see the difference - the decoration of the House of Lords is much richer than the House of Commons. A warning- sometimes there is quite a line outside of Parliament. Only a certain number of people are let in at one time. During our most recent trip in June, we had to wait nearly an hour because a school trip and a what appeared to be a group of constituents were taken in before those waiting on line.

If you tell me when you're going (and you don't want a tour) I'm pretty sure I can wangle you some tickets. By email please
