Parliament Square sits in the heart of Westminster and may in many ways be regarded as the centre of the nation with the Houses of Parliament which occuoy one side. Here are some of the other buildings around the square.
Westminster Abbey dates back to c960 when a community of Benedictine monks arrived on the site. The current Abbey dates from 1245 with major additions around 1500. The west Towers were added in 1745.
The roads around the Abbey buildings reflect the time when the precincts were a place of Sanctuary
