Left the AirBnB just after 9am to catch the underground for Westminster Abbey. Mild day, just right for walking! On arrival at the Abbey we quickly passed through security then waited in line for about 20 minutes before entering the historic Abbey. We picked up some audio guides and spent about 2 1/2 hours wondering through this beautiful church – so much to see!
A small sample of some of the myriad of intricate sculptures within the Abbey
Many tombs here of famous kings and queens, and memorials to other important historical figures.Unfortunately it was quite hard to get good photographs of the tombs, as most of these were raised up on pedestals
We were lucky enough to attend a small service inside the shrine of Edward the Confessor. Very special. Unfortunately taking photos here was not allowed.
Below is a selection of photos from the inside of the Abbey
A definite highlight of the Abbey is Poet’s corner.
The Chapter room housed some extremely old paintings on the walls (some had worn away with age) as well as information regarding various Coronations.
The Abbey is definitely worth a visit- heaps to see. We got in using our London Pass (£29 per person without the pass). Also pays to get there at 9am before the crowds.
