Westminster Abbey Chapter House

The architecture was fabulous! We could not believe we were standing there in the abbey! We were with a tour group, and she took us places we weren't supposed to go.

Westminster Abbey is a great sight. Its architecture is beautiful and ornate. Unfortunately, by touring with a group, I did not have the opportunity to go inside, but if you have the time and money, I would recommend doing so.

Westminster Abbey

Wow, and I thought the crypt in St Paul's Cathedral was impressive! The only way to describe this place is crowded. There are unimaginable numbers of famous/noble/royal people buried in the abbey, and you can't move an inch without being right on top of one of them! And the time span! I saw graves of people from the 11th century right up to the 20th. It's absolutely amazing. It gives you a real sense of how old this country is. It’s a definitely must.

The decor and architecture are amazing. The history is stunning, and this is one site that is not to be missed. Pictures can be taken outside, but not inside the abbey itself. My husband and I bought a few postcards from the bookshop there to show the inside of the abbey in our photo albums. It is breathtaking and holy, even for the nonreligious person.

I was utterly amazed at the caskets/tombs and the details. Many of them, constructed in marble, have life size replicas of their king, queen, bishop, or duke laying on top of the tomb itself.

This site is so rich in royalty and heritage.

There are also many writers, poets, philosophers, and musicians buried here. It feels like you have stepped back in time.

It was a cold, drizzly day in London when we went to visit Westminster Abbey. However, it did not take away from the design and sure history of this building, from the ornate woodwork to the marbled arches. And then you think back to what has happened here and who was here.

All kings and queens are buried in this abbey. As you walk along, you see the different names of royalty and realize you have stepped back in time. The decor is amazing and so ornate that it takes several minutes to stare up and round to soak it all in.
