This is a "must-visit" when you are in London. Get online and reserve a time to visit if you want to go inside. It is free, but you may not be able to enter without doing this in advance. This is a stunning building, inside and out, and it has so much history in its 1000 years. Just standing outside is breathtaking. We attended evensong, for which you don't need tickets. It is a religious service of the Anglican church, so you need to feel comfortable with this. It was very moving, and the music within the huge sanctuary was so beautiful. This is justly famous, and you really do need to see this magnificent church.

Westminster Abbey well what can I tell you. It's incredible that monarcs have had their coronations here for over 900 years. The history and the marble and the graves and the memorials and the opulence is incredible. Right at the heart of the tourist and parliament settings. The Themes that flows near by. A absolute must visit when in London. Not my first visit and won't be my last.

Beautiful old abbey, I mean, it’s way too famous for anything I say to persuade you to go. But I’ll tell you how I enjoyed it. I went there for Evensong. It’s free. You sit in the choir stalls, and take part. It’s easy to follow. The singers are astoundingly good (as you’d expect) and it’s a very different way to enjoy the Abbey. You don’t get to walk around and admire all the nooks and crannies. Instead you get to hear the Abbey. And it was incredible. So, instead of doing the touristy thing, find a time when music is being played, or you can take part in a service. You won’t be disappointed. I’d possibly recommend the Advent celebration night if you can. Arrive early. And you may, like me, be a bit surprised that such an emblematic building is not lit up (much) at night. They do a little, but by and large, it is left looming in the dark. So the best views of the exterior are really on a nice bright day.

Beautiful building with a lot to see inside especially for history enthusiasts. I would recommend booking in advance which will give you a time slot for entry. We still had to wait despite having the designated time so be prepared (we waited about 45 mins). It's worth it though to see everything. I also found the audio guide helpful for filling in context on everything. The optional upper floors are worth it too as they have great views looking down as well as some fascinating antiques.

My Visit to Westminster and Westminster Abbey, London My visit to Westminster and Westminster Abbey was one of the most memorable parts of my London trip. Located in the heart of the city near the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, this area is filled with history, architecture, and national heritage. Walking through Westminster felt like stepping into Britain’s political and royal past. Westminster Abbey, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is an architectural masterpiece dating back to the 11th century. It has hosted countless royal coronations, weddings, and funerals, including those of monarchs and national heroes. Inside, I was amazed by the stained-glass windows, Gothic ceilings, royal tombs, and the Poets’ Corner, where great writers like Shakespeare and Dickens are commemorated. Visitor Tips: Tickets can be booked online for faster entry. Photography is not allowed inside the Abbey, so take time to appreciate its quiet beauty. Attend a choral service or Evensong if you can — it’s a truly moving experience. The area around Westminster is best explored on foot, with easy access to Big Ben, the Palace of Westminster, and the River Thames. How to Reach: The Abbey is located at 20 Deans Yard, London SW1P 3PA. The nearest Underground station is Westminster (Jubilee, District, and Circle lines), just a short walk away. Overall, Westminster and Westminster Abbey offer a deep connection to British history and culture — a must-visit for anyone exploring London’s most iconic landmarks.
