This is another "must see" historical sight in London. The Abbey is a living church that enshrines the history of the Britain. It is not considered a museum, but it contains historical information and many things that are worth seeing. Worship is offered in the Abbey every day. The thing that absolutely amazed me is walking around the Abbey, being surrounded by history, touching stones and burial plates that date back to King Edward the first (1239-1307), walking in the footsteps of Benedictine monks who lived in the Monastery, and thinking about the pilgrims that prayed at the Shrine of Saint Edward! The audio tour, available at the information desk, helps somewhat to navigate the different parts of the Abbey and learn some history. However, it was a little hard for us to follow some information, because we weren't familiar in details with all the Kings and Queens in the English history. I would definitely recommend to read a good history book before coming here.
