Portcullis House
Portcullis House is a building in
Westminster,
London, used as offices for
members of Parliament. Office space has traditionally been very hard to find in the
Palace of Westminster and the few buildings nearby that were available, and so in
1998 the House authorised the construction of a new building to provide offices.
Portcullis House
It opened in 2001 and today houses offices for 450 MPs. It is at the corner of Bridge Street and Victoria Embankment, and overlooks the River Thames.
