Royal ceremony, Gothic architecture and the nation's memory
Every coronation since 1066 has taken place here, along with royal weddings, funerals and national memorials. A guide turns that density into a clear visit rather than a procession of names.
The route covers the Gothic interior, royal ritual, Poets' Corner, the Coronation Chair and the writers, scientists and leaders remembered in the Abbey.
Two hours in central Westminster, leaving the rest of the day free for St James's or the South Bank.

- A central two-hour visit with the day left open
Highlights
