The Palace of
Westminster is the meeting place of the House of Commons and the House
of Lords, the two houses of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Commonly
known as the Houses of Parliament
after its tenants, the Palace lies on the Middlesex bank of the River Thames in
the City of Westminster, in central London. Its name, which derives from the
neighbouring Westminster Abbey, may refer to either of two structures: the Old Palace, a medieval building
complex that was destroyed by fire in 1834, and its replacement New Palace that stands today. Source
