In 2012 parliamentarians commissioned a study of them. Its findings were grim. “If the palace were not a listed building”, it concluded, “its owners would probably be advised to demolish and rebuild.”
was about to cheer uproariously,until i opened the thread 🙁
Buckingham Palace has similar issues, apparently.
What we need is someone to blow the place up, maybe in early November.....?
You may not like what the buildings stand for, but there is no way we could ever build something as architecturally impressive again...
It's a pretty astonishing building.

Yeah it needs looking after - really is incredible up close.
We really should look after the Palace of Westminster and Buckingham Palace. They are both very impressive and icons that the world recognises - we should all be very proud 8)

No not St. Paul's, that's a fairly interesting shape imo, the Houses of Parliament.
I know, I was being a bit naughty. Not entirely sure why that pic isn't showing, I don't usually have problems posting pics.
I'll try a different one.
