Schools

Every year MPs welcome hundreds of school students to Parliament. The usual format is a coach trip, arriving in London during the morning for a free walking tour of the Palace of Westminster.

Visits to London can also take in nearby London sights such as Tate Britain, the National Gallery or the London Eye before heading home. There are often free educational exhibitions in Parliament too (details on www.parliament.uk).

The best day for a tour is a Tuesday when Parliament is sitting (October to July).

Tours need to be booked months in advance.

Please contact us to enquire about a visit to Westminster, or if you would like Henry Smith to visit the school.
