التاريخ

القصر القديم

Conjectural restoration of Westminster during the reign of Henry VIII, by H. J. Brewer, 1884[3]
The Old Palace of Westminster was a complex of buildings, separated from the River Thames in the east by a series of gardens. The largest and northernmost building is Westminster Hall, which lies parallel to the river. Several buildings adjoin it on the east side, south of those and perpendicular to the Hall is the mediaeval House of Commons, further south and parallel to the river is the Court of Requests, with an eastwards extension at its south end, and at the south end of the complex lie the House of Lords and another chamber. The Palace was bounded by St Margaret's Street to the west and Old Palace Yard to the south-west; another street, New Palace Yard, is just visible to the north.
A detail from John Rocque's 1746 map of London. St Stephen's Chapel, labelled "H of Comm" (House of Commons), is adjacent to Westminster Hall; the Parliament Chamber—labelled "H of L" (House of Lords)—and the Prince's Chamber are to the far south. The Court of Requests, between the two Houses, became the new home of the Lords in 1801. At the north-east, by the river, stands Speaker's House.

The Victoria Tower was the most conspicuous feature of Charles Barry's design for the New Palace of Westminster. At the time of its completion, it was the tallest secular building in the world.

The Clock Tower's fame has surpassed that of the Palace itself. The structure has largely become synonymous with Big Ben, the heaviest of the five bells it houses.

The slender form of the Central Tower, which was designed as a spire, markedly contrasts with the more massive square towers at the ends of the Palace.

Layout

Layout of the principal floor (north is to the right). The debating chambers of the two Houses and their ante-rooms lie on opposite sides of the Central Lobby and are part of the central spine of the Palace, which includes the suite of ceremonial rooms to the south. The Victoria Tower occupies the south-west corner and the Speaker's House takes up the north-east corner; the Clock Tower is at the far north and Westminster Hall protrudes to the west.

مجلس اللوردات يحتوي على نوعين من الأعضاء: اللوردات الروحيون (الممثلين بأعلى أساقفة كنيسة إنكلترا) واللوردات الدنويون (الممثلين بالنبلاء)؛ أعضاءه لا يتم انتخابهم من قبل عامة الشعب ولكن يتم تعينهم من قبل حكومة قديمة وحديثة. أما مجلس العموم، فهو منتخب ديموقراطياً مع انتخابات تقام كل خمس سنوات على الأقل.

مجلس العموم

The Commons Chamber
Like its predecessor, the post-war chamber of the House of Commons can seat on its green benches only about two-thirds of all Members of Parliament.

During three trips to London between 1899 and 1901, Impressionist painter Claude Monet worked on a series of canvasses depicting the Houses of Parliament under various light and weather conditions, often obscured by the smog prevalent in the city in Victorian times. The paintings share the same vantage point—a terrace at St Thomas's Hospital—and many of the works were finished in Monet's studio in France during the following years.[5]
