Quality of audio headsets was excellent and very easy to use. Queue with Headout tickets had to wait in line for quite a while until all those who had bought tickets direct were admitted.

We really liked the abbey (although we went on a Saturday and it was overwhelming to be there), it is beautiful. It is a place to go for its history, its sculptures and windows and, of course, the poets' corner. The process of buying tickets and showing them at the entrance was very simple, although the indication is for the exit, the entrance is a little further to the left.

Our tour was booked unknowingly on a day when the monarch was visiting parliament. We couldn't get over to Big Ben or buckingham. Our tour guide Lucy made the absolute best of it, however, and gave us a wonderful tour of the Abbey and then found a way to get us through road closures and over to St. James's park where we lined the roadway (front and centre) to see the King! What an experience. She could have decided to tour the Abbey and then let us go, but she was determined to make this shortfall a win for us. We loved her commentary and knowledge of the area, she was 7/5 stars!!

The fact that the audio guide was accessible to all ages, my children used it as a treasure hunt and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Your experience

Embrace the majesty of Westminster Abbey

Explore the grandeur of Westminster Abbey, an iconic symbol of British history and a pillar of Gothic architecture. Feel the royal aura envelop you as you walk down the same aisle where Prince William and Kate Middleton got married. Imagine the countless monarchs who have been crowned on the Coronation Chair, an artifact of great historical significance commissioned by King Edward I in 1296.

Journey through history

Travel back in time as you visit the Royal Tombs, the final resting place of more than famous men and women. Meander your way to the Poets' Corner, aptly named for the numerous poets and writers buried there. As you traverse the Abbey, you'll appreciate the intricate stained glass windows and the breathtaking edifice, a testament to the country's rich artistic and architectural heritage. Listen to your audio guide available in multiple languages to gain some insights into the rich history of Britain. Upgrade your ticket to include a visit to the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Galleries, a new exhibition space that showcases the Abbey's treasures. Over 200 artifacts are arranged thematically, responding to the natural light filtering through the Gothic windows. Alternatively, you can choose to enhance your tour by visiting Big Ben and Buckingham Palace.
