Westminster Abbey

Westminster Abbey is where a journey into the glorious past of British royalty can be enjoyed. Rising high and proud just to the west of the Houses of Parliament, this living church has seen spectacular coronation ceremonies and burials of the most prominent figures, including "Bloody" Mary and Charles Darwin. Literature buffs will certainly appreciate the Poet's Corner brimming with memorials to the likes of Shakespeare or Dickens, and art enthusiasts will take delight in gazing at magnificent stained-glass windows. More than a 1000 years worth of treasures enshrined in a spectacular Gothic framework make Westminster Abbey along the Palace and the neighboring Big Ben an undeniable tourist hotspot that should not be missed on any account.
