Westminster Abbey

Way more than you'd expect when you come in, if you're an avid reader you can be entertained for hours. Everything is beautiful and historic, not really any complaints. Their choir also sounds completely out of this world.

A lot of intricate history, pomp and religion. But, is God really present in this church?

We attended a Saturday 5pm service and there was a "choir performance" and scripture readings but did not sense the Holy Spirit's presence.

Still worth a visit to see what is possible when men and women are inspired by the Lord (in the past).

By visiting the Westminster Abbey you visit a piece of history. It’s a definite top 10 attractions in London. The entry tickets are included in the London pass but we couldn’t do it on the days we had the pass so we bought tickets to the Abbey separately. You don’t have to buy tickets if you choose to attend a prayer service.
The lines are usually long at the Abbey but they do mover quickly. The audio your gives to a general Idea of the history and the map of the place. It is a self conducted tour. It’s beautiful.

Extremely interesting place of worship with so much to see of historical and cultural interest. Monuments to famous people through the ages as well as royalty. Couldn't take it all in! Free audio tour is very good at pointing out highlights and one way system round the abbey works well. £25 seems expensive but we were there several hours.

Definitely ones of the must-see attractions in England. Get the audio guide and follow the one-way route. We also did the hidden highlights tour, which we thought was fascinating and definitely worth it. I would give yourself at least an hour to an hour and a half to do the Abbey itself. And another hour and a half to do the Hayden highlights tour.

Was an excellent place to visit! The amount of history here was well beyond what I had originally imagined. Not only are there a lot of ties to British religious history, but British history in general. There are also ties to significant scientific, art, and literary icons throughout the last several hundred years. The free audio guide with your tour was also very helpful in giving a more in-depth look at some of the statues, memorials, and other sites to see during your visit. Overall highly recommend this tour!

We have visited before but had more time this time around and made good use of the audio tour. There is an amazing amount of history and the audio guide is pretty much essential.
We also paid extra to visit the Queens Diamond Jubilee Gallery (£4 I recall) but for me this was the highlight of the visit. The views are amazing and the exhibition itself is very impressive.
As we had visited London by train we made use of the 2 for 1 days out scheme and got half price entry into the Abbey. Details are on most rail websites but you must print out the voucher in advance and have your return rail tickets with you.

The price of the tickets are worth it. Very beautiful place. The audio tour guide will explain most of the important parts of the Abbey. I will definitely go back but this time I will avail the secret tour. Avail the crowned jewel tour as well.
