Attraction Information

Discover the history and work of the UK Parliament today, with an informative but fun audio tour that they have created especially for families with children! With a range of tours that offer insight into one of the most famous buildings in the UK, it'll be an educational but interesting family day out. 

Types of Tours
If you and the family are interested in learning more about British politics, then a House of Parliament & Westminster Abbey tour will be right up your street. You'll find 4+ types of tours like the 90-minute guided tour of the Palace of Westminster with an expert guide, a multimedia tour with a multimedia guide, an inside UK Parliament tour and an online tour. 
You'll discover how the current affairs of topical issues and current politics are discussed in the House of Lords and how depth briefings are discussed in respective houses. The commentary on the audio informative guide is delivered in the style of a 'live' news broadcast and time travelling reporters are called upon throughout the tour to report from the scene on many of the stories associated with this historic building.

The standard audio tours and guided tours include the route taken by the Queen at the State Opening of Parliament; from the Queen's Robing Room, through the Royal Gallery and Prince's Chamber, into the majestic Lords' Chamber. Tours then move on through the Central Lobby, Member's Lobby and one of the voting lobbies before entering the Commons Chamber, the scene of many lively debates! Not only will you explore iconic chambers but exclusive access to the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey! 

Passing through St Stephen's Hall, the tours end in 900-year-old Westminster Hall. This is where Guy Fawkes and King Charles I were tried and where Nelson Mandela and Barack Obama addressed Parliament in more recent years.

The audio tours are recommended for families. The guided tours are not really suitable for younger children due to the length of the tours (90 minutes) and the amount of walking involved.
