Potentially something to do with the House of Commons All-Party Parliamentary Group welcome home reception for personnel deployed on Op ELLAMY (Libya) currently taking place at House of Commons.
ETA: Confirmation from MOD: As part of Op Ellamy (Libya) homecoming, 1 Sentry E3D, 2 Typhoons, 1 Sentinel & 2 Tornado GR4s will fly S-N over Parliament at 1745.
The picture you posted was of a BAe146 and 2 BAe125s from RAF 32 Royal Squadron, looks like it was unrelated if they were also in flight today.
