The Houses of Parliament are 160 years old, because the former parliament building was destroyed by a fire in 1834. Only Westminster Hall survived the fire. The Parliament is about 3 hectares big. And in the building there are over 1000 rooms. There exist two areas. The House of Commons is simpler than the House of Lords. The House of Commons represents the population and the House of Lords represent the nobility. The House of Parliament has 3 Towers.
The first tower is the Clock Tower , the second tower is the middle tower and the third tower is the Victoria Tower.
