Parliament and Horseguards
Posted on May 1, 2026 | By Mr Cole
We hadn’t expected to be able to go into the chambers of the House of Commons or House of Lords because we thought both Houses would be sitting which would have meant viewing from the public galleries. However, Parliament was prorogued on the morning of our visit. This means it was the “end of term” […]

London Walking Tour

It’s been a lovely evening in London.

Finally on the way back we crossed Tower Bridge which was lit up beautifully, along with the Tower […]
