Important information about your visit

Just ahead of your visit to UK Parliament, we want to share some information to help you make the most of your time with us.

Before your visit

Please do not visit us if you have symptoms of COVID-19. Follow the guidance on the NHS website if you think you may be unwell.

Find out more about the Covid-secure measures we have in place to ensure the safety of all visitors and staff.

Arrival and security

You should go to the Cromwell Green visitor entrance, which is marked 9 on this map. Our postcode is SW1A 0AA.

Please have your tickets downloaded or printed and ready for scanning before you arrive.

You should aim to arrive at Westminster at least 20 minutes before the time on your ticket so you can pass through the airport-style security search.

Please restrict the size of bags you bring with you as we have no facilities for storing or leaving bags or other personal items.
