Victoria Tower, London

Victoria Tower is part of the World Heritage Site of the Palace of Westminster.

The Victoria Tower is the tallest tower in the Palace of Westminster. It was designed by Sir Charles Barry, and named after Queen Victoria, the reigning monarch. It is a square tower at the southwestern end of the Palace.

The Victoria Tower contains the Parliamentary Archives. At the top is an iron flagstaff. If the Queen is in, then the Royal Standard is flown. Otherwise the Union Flag is flown. The entrance to the Palace is at the base of Victoria Tower. The Queen uses this entrance whenever she enters the Palace for the State Opening of Parliament or other official ceremonies.

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
