Since its founding by Benedictine monks, hospitality has always been at the heart of Westminster Abbey. It has held royal weddings, state occasions, and every coronation since 1066.
With four unique historic venues, Westminster Abbey offers impressive settings for corporate dinners and receptions. Embrace over a 1000 years of history and offer your guests a truly memorable experience with a private guided tour of this extraordinary building.
Host your summer event in one of London’s best kept secrets, a 900-year-old garden, thought to be the oldest in England. You and your guests will enjoy views of the Abbey and Victoria Tower, part of the Palace of Westminster.
In June and July, we construct a stylish glass marquee with a decked porch area, making College Garden an idyllic venue for a relaxed reception, formal gala dinner or corporate conference and lunch.

March 2024Beautiful architecture and history. They provide an audio tour included in the ticket price but they also have the same tour in an app if you want to use your phone. (Free) We did not buy tickets online but the line went very quickly less than 5 minutes so don’t worry if you don’t get them in advance.

February 2024This was one of my favorite places to visit in London. The incredible detail for the tombs was mind blowing. Such famous people buried in one place made this a must see stop. The digital guide was immensely helpful.

March 2024We loved the Sunday 10am service! We got in line at 9:30 right as they opened the doors and were able to sit with the choir. It was raining, so I'm not sure if 30 minutes early is always early enough to do that, but I highly recommend it. You follow along with the service by downloading the program via a QR code. The service is about an hour long and almost entirely sung by the choir. Wifi is available. You can't take photos inside on Sundays, but the inside is gorgeous.

March 2024Extremely crowded!! and a long wait... unless you already have a ticket. I recommend buying tickets in advance. An adult/ youth ticket costs the same as a single adult ticket. Amazing art, everywhere you look are famous names of artists, authors, royals, the who's who of British historical figures.

February 2024Architecture was wonderful and a can’t miss item if you visit London. Highly recommend paying the 20 pounds or so to get in and walk around. They have guided tours as well but I opted to wing it. Nice piece of history.
