Parliament House (or commonly known as the Houses of Parliament, Palace of Westminster and the Parliament Building) is a major site located on the River Thames in London of the United Kingdom. It has appeared in a few games of the Command & Conquer series.

The Houses of Parliament is one of four monuments the Nod Commander can choose to destroy with the hijacked Ion Cannon at the end of the Nod campaign. Had the British Parliament been chosen, the Ion Cannon blast would destroy both the main building and Big Ben. W3N would report on the monument's destruction, stating that the official death toll passed 1,100 as rescue workers and United Nations teams sifted through the rubble.
Despite the attack being done by a GDI superweapon, British Prime Minister Honore Prichard, who was safe at Chequers at the time of the blast, reiterated his support for GDI and labelled the attack a "mind-numbing accident".[1]
Third Tiberium War[]
In 2047, it was a monument to GDI after the British government was abandoned and it was attacked by a vicious Scrin force near the two GDI bases.
Incursion War[]
In the Tiberian Twilight motion comic, Parliament House was left standing against the reeling of Tiberium contamination in the entire city.
Red Alert universe[]
Second World War[]
The building first appeared in an Allied cutscene in Red Alert, where it shows a dud nuclear missile harmlessly landed in the New Palace Yard. It was one of several warheads launched towards major Allied cities that were deactivated in-flight from the Dark Horseman control center.
Third World War (first iteration)[]
Parliament House was mentioned by WarWatch that Alexander Romanov, the Soviet Premier arrested inside the Kremlin came to the site and signed a treaty ratifying the Allies as victors, and the Soviet Union to stand down immediately. Premier Romanov signed it inside the building before the Prime Minister of Great Britain said to lock him in the Tower of London for life imprisonment.
Psychic Dominator Disaster[]
Parliament House was the location of a treaty ratified between Allied and Soviet leaders during the Psychic Dominator Disaster. Unfortunately, Lord Yuri mind-controlled Lieutenant Eva Lee to finding this location after his cloning of world leaders in Sydney, Australia had failed. The Allied Commander stationed in London was told to occupy it and save the treaty. He defended with all of his might against Yuri's Boomers and Floating Discs using anti-air units and defenses until the treaty is signed. With this signed, Romanov sent a naval detachment of his own to quickly help the Allies and destroy Yuri's base, east of the treaty's location. Parliament House was saved by repairs from Allied Engineers when the building was under constant attack from the skies of Yuri's air force.
