"The Westminster complex - and this includes the Houses of Parliament, St. Margaret's and Westminster Abbey - is the most historic site in the entire British Empire," says the website for the series "Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity", which presents UNESCO World Heritage sites worldwide to the culture-loving viewer (albeit in German) in short, 15-minute segments. The film clip corresponding to this highlight can be found in the ARD media library at the following link:

Hiking

The best view is from the south bank; from Westminster Tube station/Big Ben, simply walk across Westminster Bridge.

From the north side, the scale is not clearly apparent.
