The Houses of Westminster, located in the heart of London, hold a rich history that spans centuries. From its iconic architecture to the significant events that have taken place within its walls, this historic landmark continues to captivate visitors from around the world. One glimpse at Whitehall from Charing Cross in 1899 transports us back in time, showcasing the grandeur and elegance of this magnificent structure. As we fast forward to 1948, Westminster Bridge and Big Ben steal the spotlight with their timeless charm and breathtaking views. Notable figures also make an appearance in these captivating images. Princess Alexandra graces us with her presence at the opening of King Edward VII's First Parliament in 1901, while King Edward VII himself stands tall alongside Queen Alexandra during this momentous occasion. Another historical gem captured is Disraeli's First Speech in the House of Commons back in December 1837 – a true testament to political prowess. The Houses of Parliament stand proudly against London's skyline throughout different eras. Whether it be through an unknown creator's lens capturing its beauty during the early 1900s or another mysterious artist immortalizing it amidst cobbled streets circa 1935 – each image tells a unique story. Two architectural marvels demand attention as well: The Victoria Clock Tower and The Victoria Tower. Felix Hilaire Buhot beautifully captures The Victoria Clock Tower in all its glory back in 1892, while Lambeth provides a picturesque backdrop for The Victoria Tower circa 1870. Even more recent memories find their way into our collection – Lord Montagu making his mark on these hallowed grounds during his visit to Houses of Parliament in London (1999). And let us not forget about Prince Charles taking his seat for the first time among esteemed peers within the House of Lords (1863).
