About Westminster Abbey
Westminster Abbey is a living church and one of the United Kingdom’s most notable religious landmarks. It has served as the coronation church since 1066 and is the final resting place for seventeen monarchs. The gothic architecture and the intricate stonework are a visual feast, while its role in national ceremonies makes it one of the most historically important buildings in Britain.
Visitors can explore Poets’ Corner, where literary greats such as Chaucer, Dickens, and Tennyson are commemorated. The Abbey also houses memorials to scientists like Isaac Newton and Stephen Hawking. As a working church with daily services, Westminster Abbey offers a deeply spiritual and reflective experience amid centuries of British history.
