(Hmmm . . . given the shot of Elizabeth Tower (aka Big Ben's tower) in "M.I.A.", I'm thinking we might just merge this and any future 'Palace of Westminster' page into one big page, not three separate articles.)

==History==
 
On the night of November 14-15, [[Timeline#1996|1996]], [[Hudson]], [[Lexington]], [[Griff]], [[Constance]], and [[Staghart]] kept watch from the Victoria Tower to keep [[David Xanatos]] from breaking into [[Westminster Abbey]] and stealing the [[Stone of Destiny]], while [[Macbeth]] and [[King Arthur Pendragon|King Arthur]] kept watch on the ground below.  Here the [[gargoyle]]s were attacked by [[Coldsteel]], [[Coyote (robot)|Coyote 5.0]], a [[Steel Clan]] robot, and an [[Iron Clan]] robot; [[Coldstone]] and [[Coldfire]] came to their aid, forcing Coldsteel and Coyote to retreat (the Steel and Iron Clan robots were destroyed in the battle).

==Real World Background==
 
Like the rest of the Houses of Parliament, the Victoria Tower was built between 1840 and 1860, to replace the original Houses of Parliament that had been destroyed by a fire in 1834.  It forms the entrance to the House of Lords, and the Monarch traditionally uses this entrance when attending Parliament.  A flag flies from the top of the tower when Parliament is in session.
