Visiting Westminster Abbey is essential for those wishing to understand Britain's history. The church welcomes over one million visitors annually who explore the religious edifice where every British monarch has been coronated since William the Conqueror in 1066. Notable events include Princess Diana’s funeral and the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
Visitors will admire the Gothic structure and the Lady Chapel. An audio guide in English is provided to learn about the site, including The Coronation Chair used in coronation ceremonies since 1308. The Abbey also houses the tombs of notable figures, including kings, queens, statesmen, writers, and scientists.
