Architecture and Points of Interest

Built at the same time as Portcullis House above it, Westminster rests on several massive pillars surmounted by a thick concrete slab, upon which the Parliamentary offices sit.

The District Line is suspended from this slab, while two helix-like runs of escalators descend to the Jubilee Line, which, uniquely here for the extension to the line, is arranged not horizantally but vertically.
