History of the Palace of Westminster

The Palace of Westminster serves as the meeting place for both the House of Commons and The House of Lords, the two Houses of Parliament of the United Kingdom. The original Palace was destroyed by a huge fire in 1834.

The new replacement and current Palace of Westminster began construction in 1840 with an estimated construction time of just six years and an estimated cost of £724,986, the rebuild in fact took more than 30 years at a cost of over £2 million.
