Westminster Abbey is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, renowned for its 1,000 years of history. It has been the location for every royal coronation since 1066, including the recent coronation of King Charles III in 2023. As you explore this iconic church, you’ll see the Coronation Chair, where every British monarch has sat during their coronation since the 13th century. The Abbey also houses the tombs of 30 monarchs and notable figures such as Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Sir Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, Stephen Hawking, and Geoffrey Chaucer.

As you continue your exploration, you will come across the grave of the Unknown Warrior, a poignant memorial to a soldier who died during World War I. The Lady Chapel, with its fan-vaulted ceiling and intricate carvings, is the burial place of 15 monarchs, including Elizabeth I and Mary, Queen of Scots. The Chapter House is home to a late Saxon door believed to be the oldest in Britain, and it was once used as a meeting place for the King’s Great Council, an early precursor to the British Parliament.
