Don't miss the chance to visit the stunning Westminster Abbey, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture whose origins trace back to 1045, when King Edward the Confessor ordered its construction. The Abbey you see today was built between 1245 and 1517, following a grand redesign by Henry III that transformed it from Romanesque to Gothic style. As you admire its intricate details and towering spires, you'll step into nearly a thousand years of history that have shaped Britain's royal and religious heritage.
Your visit begins near the Abbey's entrance, where your expert guide leads you through its storied halls. You'll discover the site where every English monarch has been crowned since William the Conqueror in 1066 and explore the tombs of royals, poets, and great thinkers like Charles Dickens, Geoffrey Chaucer, and Rudyard Kipling. The Abbey remains a living monument, hosting historic events such as Princess Diana's funeral and the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. As you walk its sacred corridors, you'll experience the timeless beauty and legacy that make Westminster Abbey one of London's most treasured landmarks.
