Description

Completed in 1859, Speaker’s House at the Palace of Westminster was created not just as a place where its distinguished occupants could work and reside, but also as a setting for them to host grand receptions and dinners. These rooms are a fascinating and visually stunning masterpiece of high Victorian political culture, art and design. Like the rest of the Palace of Westminster they are in constant use as working spaces and as the venue for events and gatherings which further the goals of the Speaker, the House of Commons and the nation at large.

This official guide to Speaker’s House combines stunning new photography and a wealth of recently uncovered information about the history and heritage of the house.
