Westminster Abbey
The church as we know it today was founded by Henry III in the 13th century, who ordered the demolition of Edward the Confessor’s royal palace and a monastery situated on the site. In its place, a new Gothic cathedral was built that was consecrated in 1269: From now on, by decree of the King of England, Westminster Abbey was to be a place for the coronation and burial of monarchs. - Royal Tombs, Today, over 3,000 people are buried or memorialised at Westminster Abbey, including 30 monarchs and notable historical figures such as Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Sir Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, Stephen Hawking and Geoffrey Chaucer. - The Coronation Chair in St George’s Chapel is perhaps the most famous piece of furniture in the world. - Poet’s Corner - Explore the Lady Chapel & Chapter House - Royal Tombs - Unknown Warrior - Pyx Chamber - The Quire - Cloisters

Wish I could have more time there.
This isn't massively large like some. But the historical does back further. The volunteers answered all my questions with grace and a sense that they love Westminster. It is within 10-15 minutes of The Eye and War Rooms.
B
100% recommended!
If you visit London is a must see! the Abbey is impressive and the audio guide was very informative!

Historical Beauty
Incredible history and beauty inside this abbey. It’s hard to see everything because of the crowds. Maybe limit the number of visitors might make this a better experience. Saying that I am grateful I was able to visit and recommend this anyone in London to visit

Historically significant, butnot our favorite sight to see. Still glad we went.
Visited because we felt that a trip to London wouldn’t be complete without including Westminster Abbey. Was interesting but not the best thing we did in London, However, do respect its history and role in its nation’s major events.

This is just an entry ticket. If you want a real tour with a knowledgeable tour guide look elsewhere.

Lots of history
Visiting Westminster is a must-do. The history is staggering, and the audio tour really adds to the overall experience. With that said, most people will probably get through the audio tour in no more than 90 minutes, so you could easily squeeze other tourist places into your day if you do this tour (pending time of day). And yes, it can get crowded.
Operator response

We appreciate your helpful comments about the time needed for the audio tour and the opportunity to combine it with other attractions.

Not hearing aid friendly
I wear hearing aids due to severe hearing deficit, and I require a cane. It was impossibile to read the captions on the screen, see all the beauty and history of the Abbey, and watch where I was walking at the same time. If the audio were attached to Bluetooth for my hearing aids, my tour of this magnificent Abbey would have been much more enjoyable.
Operator response
Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the audio and visual information made it difficult for you to fully enjoy your visit to the Abbey. We appreciate your suggestion regarding Bluetooth compatibility with hearing aids and will share this valuable feedback with our team. Kind regards, EvanEvansTours Team
