It came amid heightened security in the UK after lawmaker David Amess was stabbed to death while meeting constituents in October and a botched homemade bomb attack last month.
The Metropolitan Police Service was quick to note Wednesday's arrest in the heart of Westminster was not being treated as "a terrorist incident".
The force said the man was held at the main gates into parliament at around 3:00 pm (1500 GMT), without providing further details.
