Our guide to London Complete Westminster Abbey
While others stand in line, you’ll head straight into Westminster Abbey, where more than 10 centuries of history await. Hear tales of coronations, royal weddings, monarchs, soldiers, heroes, villains, and more as you explore England’s most important Gothic building from top to bottom. Your tour also includes access to the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Galleries, an exclusive space housing royal treasures spanning 1,000 years of history.
Westminster Abbey is one of the most famous buildings in the world and is considered the most important Gothic building in England. Led by a certified Blue Badge guide, this tour gets you up close and personal with some of the most fascinating events in history.
After a brief introduction in Parliament Square, you’ll head straight into Westminster Abbey. Your guide will spin stories of the significant historical events that have taken place within these walls, along with details of the decor that can be hard to decipher on your own. See the Coronation Chair, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and the High Altar, where many royal weddings have taken place. You’ll also visit the tombs of some of the most important figures in history, including Charles Darwin, Edward V, and Sir Isaac Newton.
Following your exploration of the Abbey’s main floor, you’ll head upstairs to the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Galleries. Opened to the public only recently, tickets to this gallery are hard to come by. Luckily, yours are included, giving you the opportunity to marvel at its many precious artefacts—some of which are over 1000 years old!
