The Houses of Parliament is the largest palace in the UK

One of the many architectural landmarks that London is proud of is undoubtedly the Houses of Parliament or also known as the Palace of Westminster. Crowned as the largest palace in the entire country, the building was built in the early 11th century. Unfortunately, a fire in 1512 destroyed much of it, and another fire in 1834 caused even more damage. The only medieval buildings surviving at the time are Westminster Abbey, the Jewel Tower, St Stephen's Abbey and St Mary Andercroft's Church.
