About the tour
Westminster Abbey's construction dates back to 1045, when King Edward the Confessor ordered it to be built. What we see today dates from between 1245 and 1517, when the original Romanesque style was replaced by Gothic following the renovation ordered by Henry III.
The tour begins at the meeting point at the entrance to Westminster Abbey. Your guide will take you through the famous building, a traditional site for the coronations and burials of the English and, later, British monarchs. Since the coronation of William the Conqueror in 1066, all English monarchs have been crowned at the Abbey, with the exception of Joan I and Edward V. You will see the numerous graves of members of the royal family, aristocrats, and distinguished figures such as scientists and poets, including those of Charles Dickens, Geoffrey Chaucer, and Rudyard Kipling. In recent years, the Abbey has been the setting for Princess Diana's funeral and the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
