London Westminster Abbey Guided Tour

Westminster Abbey is one of the most important monuments in the United Kingdom and a must-see for any lover of history, architecture and British royalty. Founded in the 10th century, this majestic Gothic church has been the scene of every coronation of English monarchs since William the Conqueror in 1066 and numerous historic events, including royal weddings and funerals.

During the tour, your guide will take you around the most iconic parts of the building, explaining how it has witnessed over a millennium of British history. You'll admire the imposing Central Nave, where kings and queens lie in state, and Poets' Corner, where literary figures such as Shakespeare, Charles Dickens and Geoffrey Chaucer are laid to rest.

You will also visit the Coronation Chair, used for all royal ceremonies, and learn about the role the Abbey has played in recent events, such as the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II and the coronation of King Charles III.

With its stained glass windows, impressive Gothic architecture and deep connection to British history, Westminster Abbey is not just a monument, but a living symbol of the UK's cultural heritage.
