Don't miss the chance to visit the magnificent Westminster Abbey, a masterpiece whose origins trace back to 1045, when King Edward the Confessor ordered its construction. The stunning Gothic structure you see today was built between 1245 and 1517, following a grand remodeling by Henry III. As you stand before its intricate façade, you'll feel the weight of nearly a thousand years of history echoing through its walls.
Your visit begins near the Abbey's entrance, where your expert guide leads you through its storied halls and sacred corners. You'll explore the resting places of monarchs, aristocrats, and renowned figures such as Charles Dickens, Geoffrey Chaucer, and Rudyard Kipling. Learn how every English monarch since William the Conqueror in 1066 has been crowned here, and hear about more recent events, including Princess Diana's funeral and the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. Westminster Abbey is not just a building—it's the beating heart of British history and tradition.
