🎧  Listen to Introduction

The Palace of Westminster was built in 1840 on an important medieval site and is an excellent example of neo-Gothic architecture. The site also includes the medieval Perpendicular Gothic St Margaret's Chapel and Westminster Abbey, which has great historical and symbolic significance as the site where monarchs have been crowned since the 11th century.
