The Houses of Parliament, United Kingdom

The Lord Chancellor's Residence. Westminster Abbey. Downing Street.

These places comprises of The House of Parliament which is regarded as an instantly recognizable landmark of London and the seat of government. It was Sir Charles Barry and AWN Pugin responsible for the rebuilding of the establishment once destroyed before leaving only the Jewel Tower and the Westminter Hall.

Visiting to the site is free. You just join the queue outside St. Stephen's Gate and after passing through the strict measures, you will be able to find a seat in one of the Stranger's Galleries. The nearest tube station is Westminster which is across the road from the Houses of Parliament, that is your way to get there.
