We may have just been inside Parliament, watching a debate live in the House of Commons, a tour of the House of Lords and a fantastic workshop. So many special moments in the Robing Room, Westminster Hall and seeing the exact place surragistes chained themselves to a statue ultimately destroying his spur! What a unique experience.  #LONDON
