So much history inside a beautiful church that has been kept in excellent condition for 1,000 years. I did not read every single epitaph, but there are several British monarchs over the centuries buried here and the audio guide offers interesting context. The only thing was that you pretty much need to walk on people's resting places in order to move around. Maybe a capacity limit would help this and feel more respectful. I highly recommend getting the extra ticket to the Queen's Gallery. Lots of interesting artifacts there too. It took me a few hours to see everything.

What a great place to visit, fantastic history, great part of our nation, but the audio guide, and signage! I learnt basic Latin at school, some 35 plus years ago so could read and understand the basics of what most inscriptions meant, but struggled. How any one with no Latin gets the basics of half of it is, is beyond me. More signage or more audio info is essential. Then people may truly experience the history and ecclesiastical value of this wonderful place.

Nothing, and I mean absolutely NOTHING, you may have seen in still photography or on TV does Westminster Abbey any justice with how big and beautiful this abbey truly is, than when viewing it in person. Breathtaking inside and out. If you can spare the money & time, get tickets to the galleries upstairs. Photography is prohibited, but there are some incredible views and items to view.

Westminster Abbey seems like the highest concentration of English culture, tradition, values and history of any other place we visited in England. This is where monarchs are crowned. Future kings are married. And oh yeah Henry V, Edward the Confessor & Queen Elizabeth the First (perhaps you’ve heard of her) are all buried there. If you can, sign up for the behind the scenes tour. We stood where Elizabeth Woodville last saw the lost princes, got interesting coronation factoids. And if nothing else you get to go up into the attic, which offers amazing views of the Abbey. Amazing experience.

5 stars based on a solo adult visit. I loved it, but I could see where younger children would find it boring. It is beautiful and the free guided tour was pretty neat. Paid the extra for the queens gallery and i also thought it was a good deal. Its at the end of the tour so give yourself at least an hour before heading there. Also… 1. Went on Saturday it was busy. 2. Buy tix in advance. So glad I did. The line was nuts. 3. Its an old church and a tight fit in some places and uneven floors. If you can’t navigate stairs it might be tough. 4. From the gallery you get a much better view of the cosmati floor and edward the confessors tomb. 5. Make sure you see “Britain’s oldest door” lol!

Amazing. Plan to spend hours to see it all. Queens Jubille tickets are well worth the 5 pounds. Do not go without a ticket and time reservation. Skip the ques and book online.

Allow several hours or more because there is just too much to take in! The stunning Abbey is covered in incredible workmanship that is unrivaled. Get the headset to help have just a bit of information of what you are seeing. The different chapels, alters, monuments and endless architectural wonders almost never cease! The ceilings and floors will take your breath away. Try to attend a service or evensong to grasp the holiness that is inside! This is a vibrant and beautiful house of God! Please be respectful of services, prayer times etc.

We had a somewhat different experience of Westminster Abbey as we arrived after it had closed to the public, so we did not get to "tour" the church but attended the Evensong service. I am not religious but it was very moving to hear the beautiful choir singing in the halls where people have done the same for hundreds of years. The service is free, lasts about 35 minutes and photography is not allowed. We didn't get to see the whole church but it was a nice way to take a breath after a long day of sightseeing. Highly recommend!

An essential part of any trip to London. A magnificent church but it functions less as a church than as a place for public ceremony (coronations of the British monarchs) and public memorials (the burial place and memorial site for much of English history since the Norman Conquest). It was very crowded when we were there and hard to see some things or to spend any time in contemplation.

We didn't realise we could see much. It is alot bigger than I expected. It was warm inside and the crowd flowed well. The audio guide was a great help. Seats available if you need a rest. Tickets can be bought inside.
