More about this scene
A little further north along Albert Embankment we get this wonderful view of the houses of Parliament. Apart from Westminster Hall, the old parliament buildings were burned down in 1834 and the present buildings, in Gothic style, replaced them. To the left are the roofs and towers of Westminster Abbey. The riverside members' terraces now have awnings - red and white for the Lords and green and white for the Commons. At the left is the Victoria Tower, and at the right is Big Ben.
