In no other place that I have ever been can you experience so much history in one place. This building exemplifies British history and is really a must visit. The only negative is that you cannot take photos, but this is understandable. more

I visited Westminster Abbey on May 13 2009, and I thought it was the most fascinating and beautiful church I'd ever seen. I arrived just as it opened at 9:30 in the morning and paid 4 pounds extra for the verger led tour. It was definitely worth it because you can only see the Confessor's Shrine on the verger led... more

We spent an entire morning here on our first day in London. Westminster Abbey was simply spectacular. The architecture...the history...the sheer beauty of this church will leave you breathless. No wonder it was chosen as the site of the coronation of English royalty, and as the resting place of Newton, Dickens, Elizabeth I, Mary I, and countless other renowned figures... more

We actually were thinking of not going inside because of the entrance fee. Thankfully we didn't pass up this opportunity. Going to many cities around Europe you can get a bit catherderal weary - mainly because the significance of the history of the buildings can be a bit lost in foreign language.

You can pay to tour the place during the day or get in free for the evensong. We chose the later and while the service was interesting we were not able to tour the inside much.

Westminster Abbey is an architectural and historical sight you just can't miss. From Elizabeth I's tomb to the tomb of Mary, Queen of Scots, I was stunned by the history of the abbey, and amazed at how beautiful it is. If you're in London, you must see Westminster Abbey. more

I love choral music, and hearing the Westminster Abbey choir in this beautiful location is a great experience. The music reverberates off the arched stone exquisitely. Definitely worth going, I can't wait to do it again. Westminster seems to have heart that many other cathedrals I've visited lack--it's a beautiful place & very easy to spend hours in. Highly recommended. more

Just walking in your are overcome with how incredible the architecture is. Then to see all the amazing burial places for past kings and queens. The amount of history in this building is unbelievable- it is literally indescribable. You must go see this. more
