Best Answer

The Palace of Westminster in London contains the British Houses of Parliament, and the clock tower commonly known as Big Ben.

The palace was built over 30 years (1840-1870) Big Ben itself however was completed on 10 April 1858 , during the reign of Queen Victoria.

England is one of the four major territories which make up The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland - the others are Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

During Queen Victoria's reign, the United Kingdom included all of Ireland - she was Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, not Queen of England.

The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom on the 10 April 1858 was Edward Smith-Stanley, 14th Earl of Derby, (1799-1869).
