Westminster Abbey: Early Access + Guided Tour
About this experience
Founded by monks in 960 AD, and originally built on a small island on the Thames, Westminster Abbey has over 1,000 years of history behind its humble walls! Get Inside Westminster Abbey before the crowds and learn all the facts your brain can pack in, as you explore the nooks, crannies and corners with a British guide!
Find out which English monarchs have walked the aisle. Dive into all the cool historical details that other tours leave out, and get the inside scoop on the important events that have taken place here. From Princess Diana's funeral to William and Kate’s wedding, to the cold, winter's night in 1950 when a group of daring students broke in and stole the Stone of Scone – this is one amazing Abbey.
Take a walk around on your own and see the tombs of royal family members, aristocrats, and illustrious personalities like Charles Dickens, Geoffrey Chaucer and Rudyard Kipling.
It's a close-up look at British history like you've never experienced it before.
