The Palace of Westminster consists of the House of Commons (elected) and the House of Lords (not elected- hereditary and nominated). Now it has been cleaned,the sandstone shimmers in the sunshine.
I don't have any photographs of Big Ben, because it is inside the Houses of Parliament. Big Ben is not the name of the clock tower but the thirteenth bell which strikes the hour. It is counterweighted with old pennies!
