LONDON TRAVEL GUIDE - BUCKINGHAM PALACE
Press Gallery
The Press Gallery is not, as its name suggests, a kind of balcony over-looking the debating chamber where journalists record details of the day's debates, although it does include such a gallery. It's actually a whole area of the palace set aside especially for the media. Spread over three floors, it consists of cramped and cluttered journalists' offices, rows of old-fashioned telephone booths dating from pre-fax and e-mail days, a library, an open-air patio overlooking Westminster Hall and of course a bar, cafeteria and dining room. All of these things are necessary when you have up to 250 journalists - hungry for news as well as refreshment - on the premises. It is all a far cry from the position 200 years ago, when if a Stranger so much as doodled on a scrap of paper with a pencil stub he was immediately clapped into gaol for contempt.
Big Ben
This is perhaps the best-known part of the palace, at least from the outside. What is not generally realized is that you can visit the clocktower, walk behind the illuminated clockfaces, watch the clock ticking in the clock room and go up to the open-sided belfry to watch the bells being struck. The hammers, outside rather than within the bells, are pulled slowly back as if by some unseen hand ':and then banged down hard to make the chime. Contrary to Hunchback of Notre Dame-type stories, the great booming sound is far from deafening. The resonance penetrates right inside you, however; and the whole experience is profoundly moving.
On your way up the tower (you have to climb the stairs - there is no lift, although there is a shaft ready for one) you pause for a breather in a bare room called the Prison Cell. Here an MP in the 19th century and the suffragette Emily Pankhurst in the early years of the 20th century were incarcerated for brief spells for various offences. It hasn't been used since. |
