The Palace of Westminster, which includes Victoria Tower is an internationally importantâ¯heritage asset acknowledged in its Grade I Listed designation, and inclusion in a UNESCO Worldâ¯Heritage Site along with Westminster Abbey and St Margaret's Church. Victoria Tower is 325 ft tall and is sited above Sovereign's Gate at the south-west end of the Palace site.
