The Palace of Westminster was first constructed of sandy-coloured limestone, sourced from the Anston Quarry in South Yorkshire. This however began to decay, as a result of pollution. In the 1920's, it was decided to begin restoration, after a fragment fell off a tower. In 1928, Clipsham stone, a honey-coloured limestone was chosen. Restoration started in the 1930s, and resumed after the Second World War, to be completed in 1960. Work continued in the 1980s and 90s to clean the palace from the effects of pollution. 

The Stone used to build St Paul's is Portland Stone, a Jurassic limestone transported by barges or carts carried by horses, or cattle and oxen from the Isle of Portland in Dorset. The cathedral was rebuilt under Sir Christopher Wren's command following London's great fire in 1666. The Demolition of the old Cathedral began in 1669, and the larger stones from the remains were used as foundations. Other rocks used were Burford Stone, Headington Stone, Reigate Stone, Beer Stone, and a few other minor rocks. Other rocks such as marbles and decorative stones were used to furnish the Cathedral. 

Green Park Underground Station has recently undergone an extensive renovation. The new entrance and the pavement are now made of Portland Stone, a Jurassic limestone quarried on the Isle of Portland, Dorset. This stone has been widely used in London and elsewhere as a construction material since Roman times, and as a result it has become quite ubiquitous in this city. The sediment that originated this limestone contained abundant shells, particularly gastropods (snails) and bivalves. These shells where subsequently dissolved when the sediment hardened, but their casts have remained in the rock as hollows that reproduce the morphology of the original shells. These animals, and many other soft-bodied organisms that have not been preserved, flourished in a shallow, tropical sea.

The Geological Society has resided in Burlington House for coming up to 50 years, whilst the building started construction in 1664 although it has been refurbished many times. As well as being the HQ of the Geological Society it is also home to the Royal Academy of Arts, the Royal Astronomical Society and many more. The building is made up of Portland limestone formed in the Upper Jurassic. Portland limestone is a fantastic and beautiful rock to build with, having been used to build London Bridge, Buckingham Palace and the Tower of London showing its versatility and durability since London Bridge was built in 1350 and still stands proud to this day.
