Evocative night view of the Palace of Westminster, seat of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, with the illuminated Victoria Tower rising on the left flying the Union Jack. The imposing neo-Gothic building, rebuilt after the fire of 1834 to designs by Charles Barry and Augustus Pugin, extends majestically along the Thames bank. The deserted street in the foreground with its pedestrian crossings creates an almost surreal atmosphere, while pedestrians stroll admiring this masterpiece of Victorian architecture that houses the House of Commons and the House of Lords.
