Palace of Westminster and Westminster Abbey including Saint Margaret’s Church

Westminster Palace, rebuilt from the year 1840 on the site of important medieval remains, is a fine example of neo-Gothic architecture. The site – which also comprises the small medieval Church of Saint Margaret, built in Perpendicular Gothic style, and Westminster Abbey, where all the sovereigns since the 11th century have been crowned – is of great historic and symbolic significance.

The Palace of Westminster and Westminster Abbey including Saint Margaret's Church are representations of English Gothic art, and symbols of parliamentary monarchy.

Westminster Palace is the Seat of Government and includes the famous Clock Tower Big Ben. The Gothic Palace was built (or rebuilt actually) in the late 19th century. 

The Westminster Abbey is a glamorous Anglican cathedral that stands North of the Palace. It dates from the 13th century, and holds the tombs of almost all kings and queens of England. It's also used for coronations. 

St. Margaret's Church is a small medieval church, part of the Westminster Abbey Complex.
