I found Westminster Abbey incredible. All four of us were moved by the entire experience. You felt like you were walking through history and a beautiful cemetery as there are so many people laid to rest there The Paul's Cathedral was very beautiful but I found it was more about celebrating the lives of the people who helped build the Commonwealth . Best to have some fitness to climb the stairs to the top of the cathedral as well

It is impressive but purely a tourist attraction. There is no time to sit down and let it sink in. You have to walk through the closed off and predetermined path with the other 200 with the same time and the 200 from before and after. Nothing to do with a church. Audioguide and lined up. No opportunity for personal interests, but it is more of a museum than a church.

The day was simply majestic and fantastic! The amount of deep meaningful history was stunning and could've spent 4 to 5 hours just reading and sitting and looking at the Granger. It was probably the top cathedral I've seen in my lifetime.. yes it was busy, but I would expect it to be so all the time because of the beauty of the cathedral it would be odd if it wasn't busy.

Seeing Newton and Hawking's grave, the coronation chair and a lot of historical graves made my day! Headout made it a really seamless experience. Audio guide and the guide notes present near each of the exhibit was sufficient to enjoy the abbey. I also purchased a lot of cool, affordable, high quality souvenirs in the abbey store.

Quick transmission of the access code, no unnecessary waiting times, despite the still visible rush. It all depends on the time, from midday there is an increased influx, but everything runs smoothly within the Abbey. Gladly again.
