Westminster Abbey Guided Tour
Westminster Abbey is a working church in central London and a World Heritage Site. King Henry III began building it in 1245, and most of the Gothic buildings you see today follow his design.
With your Blue badge expert guide, you will uncover the secrets and stories behind the Abbey which are worth learning. You will see:
The Coronation Chair, made around 1300 and used for coronations by most monarchs since the 14th century.
The burial places of Elizabeth I, Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin.
The tomb of the Unknown Warrior, an unidentified First World War soldier buried among the kings in 1920 and much more.
Hear the historical stories behind the Abbey’s coronations, royal weddings and farewells.
