Really enjoyed visiting Westminster Abbey. There is so much history packed into one place, and the audio tour was really helpful in understanding what we were looking at and learning more about the people and events connected to the Abbey. We could go at our own pace, which was nice. The Abbey itself is beautiful and impressive, and it was fascinating to see so much history up close. Definitely recommend visiting if you’re in London!

Seeing London from the London Eye was unforgettable, but sharing the experience with my mother made it truly magical. From the smooth entry to the breathtaking views over the Thames, Big Ben and the city skyline, everything felt special. Watching her face light up as our capsule rose above London is a memory I will always treasure. More than an attraction, it was a beautiful moment between mother and son, perfectly organised, surprisingly peaceful and absolutely worth it!

After arriving on the Uber Riverbus, we were able to proceed almost immediately once our pre-booked tickets were checked—perhaps partly because of our age and my wife’s limited mobility. In a word: first-class service! The view was absolutely stunning, and the cabin was wonderfully air-conditioned—especially with the outside temperature at 34°C.

Experience Westminster Abbey with Dex

The Westminster Abbey Dex experience is an interactive self-guided tour available exclusively with selected Westminster Abbey admission tickets booked through Headout.

Put on your earphones and follow a story that unfolds through the nave, chapels, and cloisters, connecting the Coronation Chair and Poets’ Corner with the pavement, tombs, and carvings that most visitors step over or pass.

Historical characters and voices from the abbey’s past lead you through stories of the coronations held here since 1066, the Coronation Chair and its centuries of graffiti, the tomb of the Unknown Warrior, Elizabeth I and Mary Queen of Scots buried in the same chapel, the fan vaulting of Henry VII’s Lady Chapel, the Cosmati Pavement, and the writers, scientists, and musicians commemorated in the aisles, accompanied by original music and restrained sound design.

How Dex guides you through the abbey

  • Dex uses your phone’s location to guide you along a recommended route covering the nave and the tomb of the Unknown Warrior, the Cosmati Pavement and shrine of Edward the Confessor, Henry VII’s Lady Chapel, Poets’ Corner, the Cloisters and Chapter House, and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Galleries.
  • As you reach each location, it automatically begins the story connected to what you are seeing.
  • The route is only the starting point. When a tomb, an inscription or a carving catches your attention, pause and ask your Dex guide a question.
  • Photograph a supported tomb, inscription, or architectural detail to uncover more about it, open a related story, or return to the route when you are ready.
  • Dex also points you towards carvings, inscriptions, and quieter parts of the abbey that are easy to walk past. You decide when to pause, where to go deeper, and when to continue.

How Dex differs from an audio guide and a group tour

An audio guide gives you a collection of prepared recordings. Dex builds those stories into a location-aware route, automatically connects them to what is around you, and lets you ask questions or investigate supported objects along the way.

A group tour gives you live interpretation from a human guide while following a scheduled departure, shared route, and group pace.

Dex offers a different experience: a structured tour that you can begin when you choose, pause whenever something interests you, and explore at your own pace. Choose Dex if you want the direction and storytelling of a guided visit with the freedom to explore the abbey independently.

Unlock Westminster Abbey Dex

Selected Westminster Abbey admission tickets booked through Headout unlock the complete Westminster Abbey Dex experience at no additional cost. It is not available as a standalone purchase or with tickets bought elsewhere.
After booking:

  • Download the Dex app.
  • Sign in with your Headout details.
  • The Westminster Abbey experience will unlock automatically.
