Parliament Square
About
Parliament Square sits at the northwest corner of the Palace of Westminster in London’s historic Westminster district, surrounded by iconic landmarks such as the Supreme Court, Westminster Abbey, and the Houses of Parliament. The square itself is a landscaped green with statues of influential political figures—including Winston Churchill, Nelson Mandela, and Mahatma Gandhi—forming a living gallery of British and Commonwealth history. Visitors can walk the open space, view the majestic Elizabeth Tower, or take one of the guided tours that explore the Chambers, the historic Commons Library, and the royal galleries. With its blend of political significance, architectural grandeur, and public art, Parliament Square offers an engaging glimpse into the heart of Britain’s democratic heritage.
