SPEAKER'S HOUSE : Official Guide, Paperback / softback Book

SPEAKER'S HOUSE : Official Guide Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Completed in 1859, Speaker's House inside the Houses of Parliament was created not just as a place where its distinguished occupants could live, but also as a grand setting for them to host impressive state receptions and dinners.

These rooms are a fascinating and visually stunning masterpiece of high Victorian political culture, art and design.

Like the rest of the Palace of Westminster they are in constant use as working spaces and as the venue for events and gatherings that further the goals of the Speaker, the House of Commons, and the nation at large.

This official guide to Speaker's House combines stunning new photography and a wealth of recently uncovered information about the history and heritage of the house.
