We decided to pay a bit extra and signup for the Verger Tour. Well worth it and highly recommend this addition to the main ticket price. It really made our experience fun and even more informative. Our guide was Benjamin, who really put a lot of energy and insight into the tour. Anyone could tell he really loves and appreciates the Abbey. The Abbey may be centuries old, but it comes alive with not only those interred so long ago, but also for the people of our times, such as Stephen Hawking. We toured with a British friend who had never been to the Abbey. She loved the tour as well. Very impressive.

I was fortunate enough to go to a service and it was like nothing I've ever experience before. You can just feel the history and culture surrounding you. Such a special place. I absolutely recommend visiting and if possible going to the 5pm musical service, you won't regret it.

Having booked ahead we were quickly shown through the entrance area. The Abbey was very busy but it didn't feel overwhelming. Lots of knowledgeable guides around to answer questions. So much to see that you need a few hours to experience even partially. Will definitely need to go back.

What a beautiful and interesting Abbey. Having seen so the Abbey so many on TV it was great to see it myself. I thought that names of people on the flag stones were great. We read most of them. It was very busy when we arrived so it was not a place of quiet reflection but a place well worth a visit. Enjoyable visit.

I wrote a review BC-Before corona) and now visited it again in June 2022.Westminister Abbey is in the City of Westminster near Buckingham House and Trafalgar Square It is a historic, mainly Gothic church and is one of the United Kingdom's most notable religious built. It is a burial place for historical figures like Charles Dickens and kings and queens. Royal weddings and coronations also take place here. The church was originally part of a Catholic Benedictine abbey, which was dissolved in 1539. It then served as the cathedral of the Diocese of Westminster until 1550, then as a second cathedral of the Diocese of London until 1556. The abbey was restored to the Benedictines by Mary I in 1556, then in 1559 made a royal peculiar—a Church of England church responsible directly to the sovereign—by Elizabeth I. The building was founded in 960AD but the building today dates from the 1200s under King Edward V111

Stunning cathedral. I’ve visited many in Europe and this ranks at the top. It’s also very cool to see all the famous people buried here. Not just kings and queens, but folks like Roger Bannister and Stephen Hawking. Plan to spend at least one hour here if you want a thorough tour.

Westminster Abbey is one of the iconic churches of Europe and glad to have visited it. It looks stunning across all angles, you can't take a bad shot of it. There is also a gift shop underneath that sells religious paraphernalia and the surrounding area is just as pretty as the church itself.

Don't miss an opportunity to tour Westminster. Check opening times and get there early....otherwise, you'll wait on long lines. Audio tour for 20 pounds. You can skip it if you just want to walk around, self-guided. You're a block away from Big Ben and the Thames.

The admission price is prohibitive, but it is well worth it to see all of the history and to experience the beauty of the Abbey. We had a light lunch in the cafe…over priced and under serviced like most everything in London. We paid the additional 5 pounds to tour the Jubilee Tower…this was well worth it…really interesting and less crowded so we were able to view and read the displays at our own pace. The Royal effigies are unique.

Westminster abbey is such an interesting place to visit. From walking the famous black and white flooring to seeing all this people buried there, royalty, icons and geniuses. It was a really interesting visit. I would suggest arriving as soon as it opens as we did. It was still very busy but they queue outside when we were leaving was going around the block.
