Our Coach tour will take us past the following venues;
Houses of Parliament
The Houses of Parliament, also known as The Palace of Westminster. The magnificent Gothic Revival masterpiece you see today was built between 1840 and 1888, this was the work of Charles Barry and Augustus Pugin. Barry designed the layout and structure of the buildings, and Pugin, a designer known for his elaborate gothic creations added the gothic details inside and out. The two imposing towers are well known landmarks in London, the clock tower, named after the thirteen ton bell, Big Ben, contained within and the Victoria tower, upon which the Union Jack flies when parliament is sitting.

Royal Albert Memorial
This gigantic bejeweled shrine protects the gilt bronze sculpture of Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert, which was designed and executed after the Prince Consort's death in 1861.
