There is a second surviving part of the original Palace, which is the Jewel Tower across the road from the Houses of Parliament.

Oh thanks, I'm intending to do something on Parliament Sq some time in the future - maybe in summer when it's not so cold to stand around!

Is that part of the original Westminster Palace though?

Oh, and it isn't actually *in* Parliament Square. I think it is in Old Palace Yard, which is really the nearest thing to the Embankment at that stage.

Great, thanks for the links! I've changed the entry (as per my 'Curator' status, rather than as author of the entry) to reflect that it's not the only surviving building, although I haven't added anything about this one.
