Description

Discover the heart of British history on a guided tour of Westminster Abbey, one of London’s most iconic and historic landmarks. Choose between a shared or private tour experience and explore this magnificent Gothic church with a knowledgeable guide by your side.

Step inside Westminster Abbey, the traditional site of royal coronations, weddings, and burials. Since the crowning of William the Conqueror in 1066, nearly every English and British monarch has been crowned here. Your guide will lead you through the abbey’s most significant spaces, sharing stories that bring nearly 1,000 years of history to life.

Marvel at the Coronation Chair, one of the most important relics in British history, and visit the tombs of kings, queens, aristocrats, and national figures. Walk through Poets’ Corner, where celebrated literary figures such as Charles Dickens, Geoffrey Chaucer, and Rudyard Kipling are buried. Learn about major state events held here, including Princess Diana’s funeral and the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

Explore the abbey’s incredible architecture, stained glass, and chapels while hearing fascinating anecdotes, legends, and historical facts that only a guide can provide. This tour is perfect for visitors who want to understand the cultural, religious, and political importance of the site.

For an even more complete experience, select the option that includes entry to the Houses of Parliament. With an included audio guide, you’ll explore the historic interiors of the House of Commons and House of Lords, where decisions that shaped the UK and the world have been made.
