On Wednesday 31 May 2017, Parliament will take part in the first ever London History Day.
Families visiting with children can take one of the ‘London History’ themed family guided tours around Parliament.To mark the launch of the first ever London History Day, Londoners were invited to take part in a YouGov poll about the capital. The Houses of Parliament was voted as the place that best sums up London and 31 May was chosen to be the first ever London History Day date as it is the date that Big Ben started keeping time in 1859.
