Westminster Abbey Chapter House

  • October 6, 2001
  • Rated 2 of 5 by Sergey from Boston, Massachusetts
Admission is included in the London Pass. Here you can see some very interesting and very old sculptures and stonework. There is also a museum that includes figures of various royalty. If you have some extra time when visiting Westminster Abbey, then go here and spend 30-45 minutes.

Westminster Abbey

  • October 6, 2001
  • Rated 4 of 5 by Sergey from Boston, Massachusetts
A gorgeous and very old cathedral that is still actively used as a church and burial site. Here you get to see burial places of many of Britain's royalty. A large number of famous people are also buried here, or at the very least have a plaque here. This is also the sight of coronation ceremonies, and several coronation thrones are on display here. A visit is highly recommended, but check ahead. Since it is still used as a church, it is not open to the public every day.

Westminster Abbey

  • Rated 4 of 5 by ashford from Subang Jaya, Malaysia
Westminster Abbey is a fine Gothic church and is a major must see building. Not only is it architecturally of great distinction but it has been of great importance in England's long history. Monarchs have been crowned here, marriages of royalty have been carried out here, and some of Britain's most famous politicians, poets, writers, and military figures are buried here.

Westminster Abbey

  • February 3, 2001
  • Rated 3 of 5 by akakd from , Arizona
Westminster Abbey is the tallest Gothic structure in the British Isles. An awe-inspiring place, it was a privilege to pause a moment in prayer beneath the soaring vaults speaking of the unimaginable greatness of God.

On our 1998 visit, it was eerie to stand where Princess Diana's casket had lain so recently & to look up into the pulpit where her brother eulogized her with his powerful words.

Westminster Abbey

  • September 2, 2000
  • Rated 4 of 5 by Sue Carr from Ambridge, Pennsylvania
I was awestruck with Westminster Abbey. There is so much history buried within this structure, and so much more that took place in and around the abbey. I found it amazing to run my hand over worn-down stone that was thousands of years old. Also, having been an English major in college, I found it fascinating to visit Poet's Corner, where many of my literary heroes are either buried or acknowledged in stone.

The lines and large crowds are other aspects of Westminster Abbey that can be pretty unbelievable, but have patience. It is worth the wait.
