Your experience

Unearth centuries of history

Westminster Abbey is where British history gets real. Think coronations, royal weddings, and the final resting place of over 3,300 legends—including Charles Dickens and Isaac Newton! The Gothic architecture is unreal, and the Coronation Chair? It’s been used for every British monarch since 1308. From towering stained-glass windows to the stunning Henry VII Lady Chapel, every corner has a story.

Elevate your experience, go big!

History’s way more fun when you’ve got a guide who knows their stuff! Skip the lines at Westminster Abbey and let an expert (speaking English, German, or French) bring its royal past to life. Want a snack before all that history? Upgrade with a coffee and pastry at the Cellarium. Or, stretch your sightseeing to Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, or Buckingham Palace. Small groups of 20 people, dramatic stories, and upgrades that are too good to pass up—your London sightseeing itinerary deserves the best of the best, so make your choice!
