Tours and talks during the coronavirus pandemic:
Whilst Parliament remains closed to non-essential visitors, specialist talks and virtual tours of the Palace of Westminster are available where a live presenter guides attendees through several rooms including the House of Commons chamber, sharing the history of UK democracy and the work of Parliament today. These virtual tours also include a 15-minute question and answer session.
