The Palace of Westminster is the most recognisable silhouette in London, its Gothic Revival towers and pinnacles strung out along the river beside the great clock the world knows as Big Ben. A chauffeur-driven visit lets you take in the building from its finest angles, from Westminster Bridge and the South Bank to the quieter view across Parliament Square, without the scramble for a viewpoint.

For those who wish to go inside, tours take you through Westminster Hall, with its astonishing medieval hammerbeam roof that has stood for over six hundred years, and into the chambers of the Commons and Lords. Across the road stand Westminster Abbey and the Supreme Court, easily added to the morning. Your chauffeur handles the notoriously busy streets around Parliament so you arrive composed and on time.
