Palace of Westminster, Houses of Parliament, the meeting place for both the House of Commons and the House of Lords, the two houses of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. The first one was built in 1016, 1005 years ago, but it was demolished in 1834 due to fire and a new, neo-gothic one was constructed in its place between 1840 and 1876. Westminster is currently a metonym for the UK Parliament and the British Government. When regionalists are complaining about the Westiminster, they don't mean the City of Westminster.
