SoloVerified bookingSep 20265/5Highly 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.KKomal B
GroupVerified bookingSep 20265/5This combo was fantastic value and so easy to book. The London Eye gave us incredible panoramic views of the city — we could spot Big Ben, the Shard, and Buckingham Palace from the top. The Thames River Cruise was a perfect way to relax afterward, with a great guide sharing fun facts about the landmarks along the river. Booking both together saved us money and time, and the whole day felt seamless from start to finish. Highly recommend this combo for anyone visiting London for the first time!"KKarine B
GroupVerified bookingLast week5/5’m afraid of heights and was really nervous about getting on the London Eye, but to my surprise, it was very steady. And the speed was just right for taking in the views and snapping plenty of photos. So I was able to take in the whole of London. The weather was lovely that day – the sky was blue – so it was a wonderful experience. I was with a friend whom I was meeting again after more than 30 years apart, but I’ll be back at the London Eye with my husband and my two children;PPaula K
CoupleVerified bookingLast week4/5It was with my favourite person and duch a classic thing to do while in London. The view was reaching the horizon and almost all of London could be seen. We surprisingly met people from our own country and took each others photos, all while enjoying the nice and comfortable ambient the light music was ensuring. Thank you to the London Eye for the special memory we will treasure!JJuan A
FamilyVerified booking3 weeks ago5/5Magnificent 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.
Save time and money with this joint ticket to Westminster Abbey and a River Thames sightseeing cruise, with multilingual audio guides and live commentary enhancing both your land and river journey.
