Westminster Abbey

About

Westminster Abbey is one of Britain's most significant Gothic buildings, at the heart of English history for over a thousand years. Every English monarch since William the Conqueror has been crowned here, and the abbey is the burial place of royalty, statesmen, scientists, and poets including Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, and Geoffrey Chaucer. Highlights include the Coronation Chair, the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior, Poets' Corner, and the medieval Chapter House. An awe-inspiring visit for families with an interest in British history and architecture.
