The House of Lords.

Please note that the vast majority of Lords do NOT hold hereditary titles. The majority are holders of what is known as life peerages. Meaning that they are Lords for life and their title dies with them and therefore is not passed to their eldest surviving heir. (Strict rules on who can inherit title, for example only male heirs save for certain circumstances when female heirs may inherit).

There are very few hereditary peers created in modern day Britain, only around 6 in the past 40 years.
