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.
