The most iconic political landmarks in London

If you have an interest in the history of politics or you want to see some historic buildings, London is the place to be if you’re planning a trip. The city has been the central hub of politics in Britain for centuries.

Check out our great spa deals London and take a trip to the Montcalm 5 Star Hotels London to explore the city and discover the incredible political landmarks. Here are some of the must-see places where you can learn more and find incredible photo opportunities.

Westminster Palace

Westminster, London

Go straight to the source of political power in Britain and visit the iconic Westminster Palace. If you’re on the hunt for political landmarks, it doesn’t get much better than this. Westminster Palace is home to the House of Commons and the House of Lords. It is the meeting place for politicians and lords from around the country and is where all major political policies are forged and debated over. If you regularly watch Prime Minister’s Questions, this is a great opportunity to see the setting in real life and take some photos to show your friends and family.

Churchill War Rooms

King Charles Street, London

Although the Houses of Parliament is where policies have been made for centuries, there was a time during the Second World War when the country’s political leaders had to seek refuge underground to make important decisions and devise the military strategy that helped win the war. During your stay at our 5 Star hotels London, hop on the Tube and make your way to Westminster to explore these incredible subterranean bunkers. As you browse the collection of exhibits, you’ll find antique technology, authentic documents and unique memorabilia.

No. 10 Downing Street

Westminster, London

Also located in the heart of Westminster, this iconic address is recognised around the world. The iconic black door and metal fencing have been the backdrop to some of the most famous speeches and announcements in the history of Britain. Number 10 Downing Street is the home and headquarters of the Prime Minister of Britain and has been for centuries. While the façade of the building remains consistent with the rest of the street, the interior is actually made of three terrace houses and is a labyrinth of meeting rooms and residential areas. Be sure to snap a selfie outside of the house.

Guildhall

Gresham Street, London

Make your way to the historic Square Mile and visit one of London’s oldest landmarks. Guildhall is a city hall that has been the headquarters for political and economic decisions in the City of London for centuries. The building itself is a beautiful example of classic London architecture and offers some great photo opportunities. The building was built on top of the ancient Roman Amphitheatre which was created over a thousand years ago. When you visit Guildhall, head underground to browse the historic museum and see all kinds of artifacts.
