Westminster Abbey is absolutely awe-inspiring. The soaring Gothic arches, intricate stonework, and stunning stained glass create an atmosphere that’s both majestic and moving. Walking through its halls, you’re surrounded by centuries of history—royal coronations, weddings, and the resting places of monarchs, poets, and scientists. Poets’ Corner and the Coronation Chair were highlights, and the quiet cloisters offered a beautiful moment of reflection. The audio guide and knowledgeable staff added so much depth to the experience. Whether for its history, architecture, or spiritual presence, Westminster Abbey is a must-see in London. 💡 Tip: Arrive early to enjoy it before the crowds.

Westminster Abbey visit was amazing. We were overwhelmed by the vast amount of history here. Very spiritual experience with a Mass in progress during the visit. The gardens were a tranquil break. Architecture was stunning. Easily purchased tickets through Headout and they arrived in my mailbox less than an hour later. We didn't meet the guide - just went straight in (no queue at 12.30pm) following the security bag check of course. The link to audio sent by Headout with the tickets was very useful- probably the same one given out on entry but using my own device and headphones was more convenient.

Combi ticket was ideal for us! We were in London in August and there was still plenty of room! You had to click a time slot, I really advise you to still be there half an hour in advance during busy periods. Inclecken went quickly, then another 20 min wait until you could board (both on the boat and the London Eye) because of the line of people. On board everything was there, free neat toilets, food and drinks for sale and sweet and funny crew. Top experience!!!

    My family discovered my 13th great grandfather was buried in Westminster Abbey so we visited today and found where he and his wife are buried. His name was Sir Giles Daubeny. We appreciate the assistance from one of attendants there to help us find his burial spot. We are overwhelmed with this finding!

    I loved the London Eye because you could see all over London with a bird's eye view. Unfortunately, my timing was a little off and I was unable to ride the boat on the Thames.. I had thought I could ride the boat back to London Eye, but due to a concert, I was unable to do that.

    Visiting the abbey was memorable. Although there was a big crowd there was plenty of space to move around. I noticed that people were respectful many sitting quietly just reflecting or contemplating and listening to the audio. So much to see and absorb. Wonderful to see our own Ernrst Rutherford with a plaque on the floor. We also enjoyed the afternoon tea in the cafe.
