Beautiful from the outside, breath taking from the inside. The stain glass windows, the stonemasonary are a sight to enjoy. You can feel the history everywhere, tombs of the good ,great and Royalty. You could spend hours exploring every nook and cranny.

Standing before Westminster Abbey is to stand at the very heart of a nation's narrative. My visit was less a simple tour and more an overwhelming immersion into a thousand years of ceremony, memory, and stone. The first impact is architectural: the soaring Gothic vaults and flying buttresses are a breathtaking testament to medieval faith and ambition. Yet, the true weight of the place is historical. You are walking on a floor of poets, philosophers, and monarchs. The experience of standing befor

This is a beautiful church. The architecture is incredible as is the history inside it. There is a lot to see and the self-guided tour offers a really nice explanation of the history. If you’re a history buff, check out the exterior east wall and you will see damage from WW2 that is still visible. Also cool is the oldest door in the UK (almost 1,000 years old), which you can find as you walk towards the Chapter House chamber.

Magnificent Abbey! There are so many lovely monuments. The architecture is amazing. There is so much to gaze at that you could spend the entire day doing it. Staff members are competent, kind, and helpful. Because it's a working church, you may witness one or two daily prayers depending on when you visit. A must-see if you're in London. The tour guide phone and headset were quite helpful for getting the whole experience.

I can't believe I be never been inside before. Seen it many times from outside but decided to go in this time and we were not disappointed. It is full of history and has a great atmosphere. So many things to see and enjoy. Loved it. A must do at least once when in London
