Westminster Abbey Private Guided Tour

Dream of the last Anglo-Saxon king and a flagship of the Church of England, Westminster Abbey is a tour de force of 1000 years of both English and British history.

This spectacular Medieval gothic ‘royal peculiar’ has hosted every coronation from William the Conqueror to the House of Windsor, seventeen royal weddings including William and Kate, and most recently the funeral of our beloved Queen Elizabeth II, followed by the historic coronation of King Charles III. It is also the burial place of many royals and notables including feuding Tudor siblings, writers such as Geoffrey Chaucer, Rudyard Kipling, and Charles Dickens, scientists Isaac Newton, Stephen Hawking, and Charles Darwin, abolitionists, actors, and the tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Marvel at the 700-year-old coronation chair as you learn more of this most sacred and complex ceremony, admire the craft of 16th-century stonework, the portraits of modern martyrs, and the grand Henry VII Lady Chapel.

Using a special entrance to skip the line, your private guide will give you unparalleled 2-hour insight into this very British emblem and its place in the last 1000 years of our turbulent yet extraordinary history.
