Members' Lobby

It hosts offices of government and opposition whips, who are responsible for organising voting along party lines.

The monuments include: The bronze statue of Thatcher was unveiled in February 2007, and placed close to the bust of her Conservative predecessor Edward Heath.

[1][2] Following the inclusion of Thatcher, the Commons Works of Art Committee subsequently pursued a special project to commemorate all Prime Ministers to hold office since 1902, searching for monuments to the three who still had yet to be recognised: Cambell-Bannerman, Law and Chamberlain.

[5] The Members' Lobby was restored after its destruction during The Blitz in World War II, as attested by the monogram of King George VI on its doors.

The feet of Oscar Nemon's bronze statue of Winston Churchill, as well as that of David Lloyd George, which flank the Commons doors, have been eroded, apparently by generations of MPs rubbing them for luck.
