Westminster Abbey is a treasure trove of history and art. During the week, you can spend large amounts of money getting tours, but we found the most enjoyable way to experience the Abbey was to attend a Sunday service. While not being religious ourselves, we were warmly welcomed to attend the Evensong service in early May 2008. For that service... more

Definitely was on my short list of things to do in London. It did wow in the areas I was expecting and I found some new surprises. Yes, you are not allowed photos but I found I was too busy staring to do much else. Brush up on your British history, science and literary history before you go, makes it... more

Westminster Abbey “Spectacular, Utterly, Breathtaking” One of the greatest examples of Medieval Architecture known to man, this place is a wellspring of beauty and historical depth. I first glimpsed Westminster whilst touring the city on a bus with my parents, immediately I was struck by its sheer beauty and when I actually got to see it up close, and saw... more

First up dont expect a church/cathedral on the inside - the Abbey is purely a tomb. May be just me but I find walking around people's final resting place as too morbid and not particularly interesting. Dont be fooled by it's magnificent exterior, the inside is not that appealing and you are not able to take photos. Be prepared for... more

This is one of the most amazing places I have ever visited on the planet. The amount of history in this one location is hard to imagine. It has almost been a year since my visit and I still think of the Abbey often. One bit of advice--pay a few extra pounds and get a guided tour. You actually get... more

This is a must see for any visit to London! Lots of famous people buried here and the church itself is amazing! The best tip I can give is to do the Vicar's tour, you learn so much more! more

Absolutely amazing, that's the only way to describe this Abbey. The history and the monuments, crypts and memorials are not to be missed. We were here last September and it should be number one on anyone's list when visiting London. Word's can't really describe the inside. Thousands of bodies lie beneath the floor and in tombs.We experienced no line when... more

I happened upon the Westminster Abbey on an outing to Parliament and Big Ben. I didn't go in, but the exterior is AMAZING, and I took some wonderful pictures. I came back on a Saturday while showing my boyfriend around, and we happened to arrive just as Evensong was starting. We simply stated that we were there for worship, and... more

We went to the Abbey on Sunday, at 6:30pm -coincidentally that's when an evening service was about to start. We insisted on going in (we knew it was free on Sunday) and the usher asked us if we were able to stay for the FULL service..we said yes (although I knew I was lying:) Me and my two friends walked... more
