Westminster Hall, where the Pope held a short speach on Friday. It was the first ever state visit of a pope in the UKToday I followed the processional route taken by Her Majesty the Queen when she performs the State Opening of Parliament. Our guide Russel took us onto this very route when he showed us round the Houses of Parliament.
He did a very good job and squeezed a lot of information into 75 minutes but I felt a bit rushed. Would have loved to go into more details and stay a little longer.
The medieval Westminster Hall (pictured) is the oldest surviving room of the Palace of Westminster, better known as the Houses of Parliament. All the rest is an orgy in Neo-Gothic style, including the House of Commons that had to be rebuilt in the 1950s after having been damaged in the Blitz.
On the ladies toilets I came across this electronic device telling me that the inspection service is overdue for nearly an hour. Not sure this is the right way to put pressure on your employees. It obviously doesn't work.
