The Houses of Parliament, also known as the Palace of Westminster is the seat of Britain's two parliamentary houses, the House of Lords and the House of Commons.
In the middle of the 11th century, King Edward the Confessor had moved his court to the Palace of Westminster, situated on a central site near the river Thames.
In 1265 a parliament was created with two houses: the Lords and the Commons. The House of Lords met at the Palace of Westminster while the House of Commons did not have a permanent location. After King Henry VIII moved his court to Whitehall Palace in 1530, the House of Lords continued to meet in Westminster. In 1547 the House of Commons also moved here, confirming Westminster as the central seat of government, a position it still holds today.

Great Scotland Yard is a street in the St James's district within the City of Westminster, London. This is the street that gave its name to the Metropolitan Police of Greater London, which is called Scotland Yard. The Metropolitan Police force was formed in 1829. It remained there until 1890, when it moved out of Great Scotland Yard to new premises at Victoria Embankment. At that time, the Metropolitan Police changed its name to New Scotland Yard. In 1967, it moved again to 10 The Broadway, where it is still located today.
Well, I did say not to give information about yourselves -which students ignored-, but you are a bit extreme, don't you think???
