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.
