Description:                                

The Westminster Abbey is an integral part of the history of the United Kingdom. In fact, religious services have been held at this site for more than one thousand years. The view from the North Door as you enter the Abbey is truly awe inspiring with a beautiful rose window of stained glass directly in front. Former statesmen and royalty are buried here, and most of the monarchs have been crowned here. In addition to coronations, royal weddings and funerals, the Westminster Abbey offers worship every day of the year.

This medieval church is the tallest Gothic building in Great Britain and was designed in the shape of a cross. As you walk slowly around the interior of the church, you’ll see the tombs of and memorials to kings, queens, knights, writers, actors, musicians and statesmen. Purchase either a guidebook or an audio tour to enhance your walk through the Abbey. There is also a free leaflet and an information desk as you enter through the North Door.
