Highly recommend visiting the abbey. Even if the time you choose is 11:00, when you arrive, you have to wait in a line to get in. When I went, it was about a 10-15 minute wait. Apparently, the entry time is approximate, and you can actually stay in the abbey until closing time. Therefore, I recommend checking what time they close each day before buying your ticket. The visit lasts 1-2 hours depending on how much you stop, and at the entrance they give you a free audio guide with headphones in several languages. They also have seats in different areas so you can rest while listening to it. My favorite part is the tombs of Elizabeth I, Mary, Queen of Scots, and Poets' Corner. One hour before closing, they block access to the Jubilee area, so if you want to see it, organize your time so you don't miss it. At the exit, there is a souvenir shop and bathrooms inside the complex. It is quite wheelchair accessible, although you would need help with a few steps. Recommended.

This was a great tour. I wish the guided devide they provide spoke more on the History, but overall was a great help in walking through each section. Please note some areas are tight and small and some have no air circulation. Bring one of those handheld fans if you think you will need it. And if you are sensitive to smells, well...hold your breathe. Also, be respectful with your choice of clothing. Woman should not be half naked, showing cleavage, showing belly button, etc. This is a place of worship. I am all for dressing for the weather, but bring something to cover up inside.

Really liked the display of the £5 note with Churchill's portrait, serial number AA01 001945. This was one of the first run notes pulled specifically for the museum, with a lovely letter from Mark Carney, then Governor of the Bank of England (and, as of this writing, Prime Minister of Canada).

The Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace and the soldiers entering Buckingham Palace. I also went inside Westminster Abbey and saw where Sir Isaac Newton, King Edward III, Queen Elizabeth I, Edward I, and Henry V are buried. I will definitely come back again.

Tickets at super advantageous prices compared to other platforms. The audio guide was also well-structured, clear, and truly immersive. I also had a small issue, which I resolved quickly and promptly through the support chat.

We got in right on time. All we had to do was show the email with the QR code (no need to print it out). The Abbey is wonderful and definitely worth a visit. At the entrance, there are headphones that make discovering the interesting facts even more fun!

My granddaughter absolutely loved her visit to Westminster Abbey. We was each given headphones to listen and take in all the historical events that occurred there over there hundreds of years. I didn't really need my headphones set as my granddaughter was a little in front of me and listening and then telling me all about it. It was lovely to see her taking everything in. If you love history would highly recommend this. I paid the extra £5 and we went up in the galleries the view from up there is breath taking . We both absolutely loved our visit so thank you for making it possible

Magnificent Abbey with wonderful architecture. There are tons of monuments and tombs everywhere. The royal tombs are a must-see. 1000 years of history within four walls. The only downside is the interactive guide. It seems to be made more for children and doesn't tell you the important things.

This working church has been the setting for every British coronation since 1066. Known for its breathtaking Gothic design and national significance, the Abbey is one of the most storied buildings in the UK.

Features

The Coronation Chair: See the medieval throne used in nearly every British coronation for more than 700 years.

Poets’ Corner: Pay tribute to literary giants buried or honored here, from Shakespeare and Austen to Brontë and Byron.

Royal Tombs: Walk among the final resting places of monarchs like Elizabeth I and Mary Queen of Scots.

Stained Glass: Take in vivid stained glass windows that date back centuries and highlight scenes of faith, royalty, and remembrance.

Gothic Details: Look up to appreciate vaulted ceilings, flying buttresses, and centuries-old stone carvings.

Upgrades: Select skip the line or priority group entry, guided Westminster Abbey experience, walking tour of Big Ben and Buckingham Palace, licensed English speaking guide, guidebook, and AI audioguide access.

Note: Entry may involve queuing during peak times. Westminster Abbey occasionally closes for events or services.
