About Venue

A rare survivor from the medieval Palace of Westminster, the Jewel Tower was built in the 1360s for Edward III as the official royal treasure trove. Having dodged the fire that destroyed much of the old palace in 1834, two of its three floors are now exhibition spaces telling the history of Parliament and the story of the tower itself. The unusual anti-clockwise spiral staircase (once a useful defensive measure, apparently) should have guests nattering away ahead of a private dinner or meeting, and a well-kempt garden now surrounds the building, making a very English spot for summer drinks receptions.

Hidden piece of Westminster history from the 14th century, one of the oldest surviving structures of the Palace of Westminster and was really nice and interesting to look around. Highly recommend visiting, especially if you are a member of English Heritage, plus it has a nice small café at the ground floor.
