Westminster Abbey in City of London, Westminster

An absolute highlight and a must-see when visiting London! History, culture, splendor...simply impressive!

Beautiful architecture. Lots of dead people .

Amazing place! Beautiful architecture, rich history and charming atmosphere.

One of the most beautiful gothic churches you'll see in Europe. The resta of people like Newton, Darwin, Hawkins, Churchill are here!

A very beautiful abbey, only visited the exterior given the excessive entrance fee in my opinion. Not to be missed if you enjoy beautiful structures.

Too heavy and strong. Not for me.

What can I say? How can you come to London without taking the time to visit this unmissable landmark of royalty on English soil? You will be blown away by this centuries-old jewel, so plan plenty of time and, above all, extend your visit to the Crown Jewels in a special space nestled under the roof structure (additional entry ticket) from where you will have a breathtaking view above the central nave. A quiet place far from the crowds circulating below. A welcome moment of rest! At the end of your visit, don't hesitate to stroll through the inner courtyard under the arcades, obviously stopping in the well-stocked shop before leaving the premises.

Beautiful church, magnificent construction.

I had a fun time going. Lots of history. You get these guides. I wish it had a reading option. It was also hard to tell when to click on which one to listen to.

A visit to this church is recommended. The waiting time was acceptable. You can also book an appointment online.

Beautiful details on this building. The best structural elements are in the back!

Great place with tons of history. It's beautiful hearing their services as well. Staff is friendly. Audio guide is quite insightful.

Must not miss. Become engulfed in history.

Beautiful from the outside and the inside!

Gothic temple with a lot of history

STUNNING!!!! It literally took my breath away! We were so blessed to have been able to experience the evening service and take in the beauty this church has to offer. Even if you’re not religious take some time to just come in for the stunning architecture the Westminster Abbey has to offer.

Beautiful church I actually like the side view better than the front

Very nice church, but it's a holiday, it's expensive to get in.

Visited only from outside, very beautiful

The abbey is breathtaking! A free audio guide is available inside. You can tour the cathedral from top to bottom, and it's sublime!

There’s lots to see and it will take under 2 hours to see everything

A classic if you visit London, no matter what day of the year you go there will always be a lot of people.

Westminster Abbey - Gothic splendor A magnificent architectural masterpiece. Witness to so many events in the life of society, it is a repository of history: coronations, weddings and funerals. Once you step inside, you feel like you too have participated in all these moments of history. It's impressive! It will always remain a vibrant symbol of British heritage and spirituality.

Nice palace to walk with the family, very busy but charming. The bridge area is very busy but normal for London

For me, along with St. Paul's, it's one of the best places to visit in London. You have to pay, but the temple inside is spectacular.

Really unhelpful at the door no clear instructions of tickets purchases overall a bit disappointing and expensive. Make sure you print out any two for one offers

Amazing place to visit. A must see in London.

Coming here was a great day out, I enjoyed my time wandering around the church and I was glad to only have to pay £1 thanks to their Universal Credit discount. However, it was way too overcrowded inside. They need to have a better, less claustrophobic system for visitors.

This is one of the most beautiful abbey in my life. I really recommend you this place despite the high prices

Breathtaking at every glance. There is so much to see and even though we spent hours here we could have spent much more time. The tours were amazing.

Sensational! A must-see! Super well-structured to receive visitors!

A place of history, tradition, and stunning architecture, Westminster Abbey is one of London’s most famous landmarks. For over 1,000 years, it has been the site of royal coronations, weddings, and burials of British monarchs and notable figures. The Gothic-style church is breathtaking, with intricate details, grand stained-glass windows, and a deep sense of history. Walking around, you can feel the significance of this place, from the resting sites of great poets and scientists to the grandeur of the coronation chair. A must-visit for history lovers and those wanting to experience British heritage up close.

It was extraordinary. I really liked it. Huge. Impressive. Imposing. So much history. Rich in sculptures. Worth a visit.

Founded in the 10th century, Westminster Abbey is a UNESCO-listed Gothic church and the site of coronations, royal burials, and notable funerals. It contains tombs of figures such as Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin, illustrating Britain's cultural and scientific heritage.

This place is huge with so much to see. We used the talking tour guide, which was included with the ticket. It was very informative with lots of stories of old kings and queens.

Best place to go, better than Notre Dame.

Temple where past kings sleep I was able to explore the sights at a leisurely pace with a guide.

Visited with cousins, very well kept place full of information and interesting facts

Fantastically beautiful inside and out, as well as the gardens. An extraordinary experience.

Personally, I didn’t find it very engaging, but I can understand why others might appreciate it.

On the other side of Big Ben, don't rule out seeing Westminster Abbey.

A very beautiful royal abbey. It's best to go there when it's open to avoid the tons of tourists who can prevent traffic from flowing during your visit.

A must see when in London. Church is beautiful. Outside part reminds me of Harry Potter. Cool to see Stephen Hawking grave/tile? The unknown soldier and the coronation chair are pretty cool to see as well. The history here…. Just go!

absolutely amazing abbey to visit ..the history within the walls are reason enough to visit ..royal tombs ...coronation chair and famous people from history final resting places are some of things to see ...not to mention the spendor of the Abbey itself ...we did a full a tour which included the library..we were one of the last to see the library as they were stopping that part of the tour

Very beautiful place. Magnificent exhibits. Stunning for someone interested in the history of the nobles and kings who were buried in this place.

The visit was good. Especially if you are interested in the history of the people that have a grave there. Architecture was ok - if that is what you are more interested in st. Pauls Cathedral might be a better choice

Iconic London site. All sorts of really old stuff and dead people

What a magnificent building. And the history which lays here. It is astonishing. Is it not only a Cathedral but also an ancient Abbey plus the first House of Parliament was seated here. And... the oldest door in England from around 1050 BC. See if you can find it 😉 We went on a Tuesday morning and could walk right in. But buy your tickets in advance is my advice.

It is worth paying the entrance fee to enter, beautiful inside

.. unimaginable .. full of surprises .. elegant

It's very beautiful, there is an audio guide in Hungarian.

Beautiful place can be linked with Big Ben and Tower Bridge

Wonderful experience coming to worship at evensong on a Wednesday. Very reverential. Beautiful music from organ and choir. Full evening service with readings. Representative of Mauritius was with us and read one of the scriptures. Held in the Quire. Obviously something that has been done for hundreds of years. Praising God in His house with His people.

A place you should definitely stop by when you go to London. You can feel the history of the royal family. A place that has been broadcast on TV many times. The coronation chair is also on display.

With an entrance fee of just under £43 per person, it is a very expensive experience, but highly recommended. Tickets MUST be booked in advance (preferably approx. 1 day before the visit).

Extraordinary and magnificent architecture!

Everything is beautiful and very interesting. Note: they don't allow you to record inside, so please be respectful.

An impressive cathedral, but it is also a place where commerce wins over the sacred.

Beautiful building with tons of history

It's a giant indoor celebrity cemetery. Not what I was expecting. If you are limited on time for your tourism I would skip.

I would like a little more concern for the tourist. Not everything ends with saying the schedule is on the wall.

Great architecture! Recommendation from me.

It is immpressive building and interesting place to visit - there are married and burried royals in different centuried

Despite the high price, it's a must-see attraction; you learn a lot. It's a beautiful abbey.

Incredible historic building at the heart of Westminster

Superb place to visit stunning building recommend the additional gallery tour.

A magnificent place full of history that you can easily visit thanks to the audio guide provided and in French. The visit is rather interesting and pleasant even if it is crowded. Afterwards it is a magnificent place not to be missed. If the price of entry seems high to you, find out in advance on the abbey website for the ceremony times and arrive 45 minutes before to be able to attend a service for free. You won't enjoy the whole place but on certain days, the Westminster choir sings the 5 p.m. service and it's not to be missed!

Very nice, you have to buy tickets online in advance

Beautiful churches steeped in history. Worth a visit.

One of the most spectacular churches I have ever visited. Lots of history and culture. In addition, a number of kings, queens and important figures from British history are buried here.

I have magical memories of this visit, a special atmosphere reigns in this monument. A must-do visit.

Very special, what a history lies there

There's just so much to see in London -- but we had to stop by this beautiful, magnificent church. We used a company called Headout Bookings and met up with a small group of other tourists for a guided tour of the Abbey. Our guide was clearly very experienced and very knowledgeable about this place. It was so great to visit with someone who could give us so much history and still keep it very interesting. We also had some time to go off on our own and explore the intricacies of this majestic place. The stunning architecture kept us stopping to stare in amazement over and over again. Our guided tour allowed us a chance to experience the church and learn so much about its history at the same time. It truly is a must-see if you visit London.

Breathtakingly beautiful!!! We had an amazing time wandering around. Although you have an entry slot, once inside you are able to take your time. We'd watched a You Tube video by The Museum Guide prior to going and so we're able to find all the hidden treasures. I'm also a Tutor History nut so it was like Valhaler for me!!!! I am aiming to visit the graves of all Henry VIII's wives. We found Anne of Cleves tucked away. We had the audio tour which was also very interesting. My daughter loved Poets Corner! Look out for the oldest door in the UK and grafitti scratched into the Coronation Chair. We got the 1 adult with 1 child (upto 17) ticket.

Very beautiful place for a nice visit.

So much history, pricey, butvworth it

I only had the opportunity to see it from the outside and it is incredibly beautiful.

Beautiful visit! It's worth queuing to get in.

Yes we found a very nice spot to have a great view of the Westminster Abbey. A very quiet park connected to the Westminster school. Via this place you can enter the cafe of Westminster Abbey. We always find it great to search for special places so you can have a better (or another) view of this historical building.

Very interesting. But exorbitantly high prices

Magnificent, well worth the visit.

You have to arrive early if you don't want to wait a long time to enter. When you enter they give you an audio guide that makes the visit much easier.

This cathedral is a sight to behold with its splendid Gothic interior and exterior, but its beauty does not reach that of St. Paul's Cathedral. The key to sightseeing at Westminster Abbey is that you can see the tombstones of many great figures of the British Empire located throughout the area. Not only Newton, Hawking, and Darwin, who are mentioned in the official guide, but also Maxwell, Faraday, Charles Dickens, Edward Elgar, Vaughan Williams, Purcell, Handel, James Watt, Shakespeare, the Brontë sisters, Jane Austen, and countless famous politicians such as William Pitt, Gladstone, Baldwin, Attlee, and Churchill... The real fun is finding the places where they are buried. There's even Cecil Rhodes. Not to mention the numerous tombs of English/British royalty and nobles from the Plantagenets to the Stuarts. There are so many great people buried here that I feel overwhelmed by their glory every time I take a step forward. There are so many that it is difficult for first-time visitors like me to find even half of them. Rather than just focusing on the guide, I hope you will find the fun of finding names you know by walking around the cemetery slowly. I think it would be the icing on the cake if you take a look at the map regarding the locations of the gravestones of great people.

It was a bit predictable and not value for money, you would be better off going to St Paul's if you're in London but if not, visit any of the thousands of beautiful churches in England

Magnificent abbey!!! I recommend taking the Phone audio, the explanations are great

An abbey in central London where kings are crowned, royal weddings take place. Historically knowledgeable.

Visited this place many times. The Abbey has been stonewashed recently so it’s brilliant for pictures and prayers.

Even if you use your Japanese student ID, you can enter at the student rate! Thanks to the free audio guide, I was able to learn a lot ♬⭐︎

Good place to go and pray a little

Amazing time exploring and wandering around the abbey.. Definitely use the audio guide provided to enhance your experience.. As it's a working abbey and a place for worship treat with respect.. It took us around 2hrs to tour the abbey and could take a little longer if you take in all the history the abbey has to offer.. Unfortunately due to mobility issues my wife could not climb the steps to see the Queens diamond jubilee exhibition which is an additional £5.. certainly looks worth the effort if you can But there were plenty of other interesting things to see.. The graves and tombs of some of the most famous people in history are here.. amazing and beautiful.. The abbey itself is a work of art... the architecture and the stained glass windows..are simply breathtaking And of course some of the most important ceremonies are performed here and seen all across the world.. For me seeing the grave of the unknown soldier was a sombering experience.. Fyi..as you tour the abbey you walk over many graves... the grave of the unknown soldier is the only one you cannot.."Respect to the fallen" In the older part of the abbey the oldest door in the world is here.. If you have any questions or queries feel free to ask one of the many staff.. they were very helpful.. Oh be aware the only public toilets are on the way out Wasn't too overcrowded when we visited so we were able to wonder about and see everything the abbey has to offer very comfortably.. For us being able to see the coronation chair that has been used to crown a long line of monarchy was interesting to see this is displayed in a sealed room as you exit the abbey. Had a great experience and thoroughly enjoyed spending time in the abbey and would definitely recommend visiting..

Amazing history, you get an audio tour in the entrance fee which was good and easy to follow.

Joined in the Commonwealth Day celebrations 2025 which added an atmosphere of fun and energy to an already amazing place steeped in history.

beautiful building and i didn't even go inside. the gift shop is very crowded and very small. cash only for purchases under 1 pound.

Such a rich place! Mind that you can order a guided tour and see it from inside but you’ll need to do it far in advance

Very nice building, which is directly opposite Big Ben.

Worth the money , even though is one of London best attractions. Good visit.

The signs showing coffins of famous people everywhere make me dizzy. Walls, floors, etc. There is even an explanation that the coffin of Queen Elizabeth I sat on the coffin of her half-sister, Queen Mary I. It is amazing in many ways to hold a royal congratulatory ceremony here.

Very impressive temple. Entrance is free during opening hours.

One of the most beautiful and symbolic buildings in London Definitely worth seeing

Went to see the Commonwealth Festival. Extraordinary performances and the building itself with its history made us speechless. Definitely needs to be visited one in the lifetime
