Westminster Abbey is one of London’s most important historic and religious landmarks, a Protestant abbey and working church that has hosted every English and British coronation since 1066. The present building is celebrated as a masterpiece of Gothic architecture, with soaring vaults, intricate stonework, and richly decorated chapels and monuments.

What to expect

  • Expect impressive Gothic architecture, soaring ceilings, and densely packed memorials throughout the church.
  • You may receive an audio guide-style device to help explain the Abbey’s history and key spaces.

During your visit

  • Pause in the quieter corners to appreciate details in carvings, tombs, and stained glass.
  • Look for signs of wartime history, including visible World War II damage on the exterior east wall.
  • Be mindful of worshippers and keep noise low during prayers or services.
