Description

Westminster Abbey

An essential part of any visit to London, Westminster Abbey is one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. Steeped in over a thousand years of history, Benedictine monks first worshipped on this site in the mid-10th century, and the current structure has stood for over 700 years.

Glorious Architecture

This magnificent Gothic structure is a true sight to behold, with some of the most impressive stained glass in the UK.

Coronation Chair

Created for King Edward I in 1296, the Coronation Chair has been used in every coronation since 1308, including those of Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II. It is the oldest piece of furniture in the UK still used for its original purpose.

Poets’ Corner

This famous section of the Abbey is dedicated to literary greats. It is the resting place of renowned writers such as Geoffrey Chaucer, Charles Dickens, Rudyard Kipling, and Thomas Hardy, along with memorials to figures like William Shakespeare and Robert Burns.

Kings and Queens

Westminster Abbey has been the coronation church since 1066, and seventeen monarchs are buried here. It was also the venue for the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton in 2011.
