Ceremonial Rooms
Beyond the House of Lords are the ceremonial rooms used during the State Opening of Parliament - the Queen's Robing Room and the Royal Gallery - reached by a separate entrance under Victoria Tower. The Royal Gallery is often used when members of the two Houses meet together to hear addresses by visiting heads of State or Government.
To the north of the House of Commons are the Speakers' and Serjeant-at-Arms's rooms, and offices for ministers and officials. Beyond these is one of the most famous features of the Palace - the Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben).
