Houses of Parliament:
A mixture of old and
newer buildings on the north bank of
the River Thames. The fire of 1834
burned down most of the Palace of
Westminster. The only part still
remaining from 1097 is Westminster
Hall. The buildings replacing the
destroyed elements include Big Ben,
with it's four 23 feet clock faces,
built in a rich late gothic style that
now form the Houses of Commons and the
House of Lords. These magnificent
buildings are still the subject of many
paintings, including my own Parliament,
with the grand Westminster Abbey on
their north.
