Westminster Abbey Tickets
Visiting Westminster Abbey is a must for all travellers that wish to understand the history of Britain. The church welcomes over one million visitors each year who are curious to explore the religious edifice where every British monarch has been coronated since 1066. In the past decade, Princess Diana’s funeral was held in the Abbey and Prince William and Kate Middleton said "I do" before the eyes of millions.
You’ll admire the building’s impressive Gothic structure and visit Lady Chapel, one of the Abbey’s most impressive chapels. You’ll also be able to appreciate The Coronation Chair up close, which has been used at every coronation ceremony since 1308.
Westminster Abbey is also famous for housing the tombs of renowned historical figures, including British and English monarchs, statesmen, writers, poets and scientists. In the Poet’s Corner, you’ll find the tombs of great literary artists such as Charles Dickens, Geoffrey Chaucer and Rudyard Kipling. There is also a sanctuary dedicated to Emily Brontë, T.S. Eliot, Oscar Wilde and Jane Austen, among others.
All tickets include an audio guide in English (also available in 11 other languages), which will make the visit even more compelling, as it will uncover interesting facts about the church and its long history.
