This historic location is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its Gothic architecture remains striking to this day. One of the jewels in London's crown, Westminster Abbey is a must-visit for history lovers and those who enjoy a touch of royalty! The Queen's Diamond Jubilee Galleries are now open to the public.

For most visitors, paying the entry fee to Westminster Abbey (currently £31 for adults in 2026) is considered well worth the cost due to its immense historical and architectural significance. Unlike a standard cathedral, the Abbey is a "Royal Peculiar" and has served as the coronation site for every British monarch since 1066. A ticket grants you access to the Coronation Chair, the intricate Lady Chapel of Henry VII, and the burial sites of over 3,000 famous figures, including Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, and Stephen Hawking. The admission price also includes a high-quality multimedia guide that provides deep context on the 1,000 years of history contained within the walls. While you can enter for free to attend a religious service like Evensong, you will not be permitted to tour the royal tombs or the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Galleries during those times. For fans of The Crown or British history, the Abbey offers a concentrated dose of royal pageantry that few other sites in London can match.
