Just returned from London. Although I do not think it is right to pay to go into Churchs when museums in London are free, I did relent most reluctantly and paid my £9.00 senior citizen rate for the visit. What an awesome place. Steeped in history, a wonderful place which takes you back into our historical past. Tombs of Kings and Queens and poets, writers and musicians all together making a great atmosphere. We used the audio guide which makes things easier to identify. A fabulous place which I would recommend to anyone visiting London. I may even be persuaded to pay to go into St Pauls the next time I visit

For historical value, you probably can't find a place in London that surpasses Westminster Abbey. The list of famous personages that are buried or memorialized there would require a great deal of space and can be found elsewhere on the Internet. (Try Wikipedia.)

As a place of worship, however, it's a sad commentary on the state of religion in England. Lots of great monuments to kings, queens, unknown nobles and war dead, virtually nothing about saints or those who provided models of Christian virtue (excepting the statues far atop one of the entrances--you might miss them if someone didn't point them out). You are not allowed to visit the tomb of St. Edward the Confessor (who was also a king--I guess that's how he made it in) which might provide you with some connection to Christianity. Memorials to John and Charles Wesley--which might appeal to some Methodist tourists perhaps--were cordoned off and had folding chairs and tables stacked against them. I guess these guys are still not popular with Anglicans. Overall the Abbey is a fascinating study of how power and privilege usurped a place of honor in a religion that is supposed to be dedicated to the service of "the least of these."

Finally, you really need to get the audio tour because the "docents" are clueless.

I went to London and was planning to visit Westminster Abbey. I was with a large group and we all took pictures of the front of it. Westminster Abbey is beautiful outside. The bad and disappointing part was that we didn't get to go in. Westminster Abbey was closed that day because the prince was coming or something of that sort. I understand that something was going on inside, but I really wanted to go inside and visit.

Fantastic monument

It's a magnifical monument, full of history and meaning. The Central Nave is splendorous such as the laudable recovery of the High Altar, at the time of my visit. The Shrine, Chapels, Tombs, Organ...

It's a magnifical monument, full of history and meaning. The Central Nave is splendorous such as the laudable recovery of the High Altar, at the time of my visit. The Shrine, Chapels, Tombs, Organ, Quire and Cloisters are more than enough argument to visit it, which enriches this Royal symbol of London.

I recomend to beware with pickpockets, specially at the queue entrance. Enjoy it.

very expensive

This place is just a money making exercise. You go in, and pay £12+ and £5+ for a guide book,or pay for the price for an audio guide.If you don't,you might as well be blind, as there is no labeling...

Most of the Royal Tombs are totaly out of sight. You cannot visit them, as they are in the higher central section. You would need a ladder to view over the wall. You can see some tombs, but as I only had the expensive guide book, and not the audio, I don't really know what I was looking at.

Past the royal tombs, lots of the sights are faked, I mean that if you see a memorial to someone famous, the chances are, that they are buried eleswhere.

The tomb of the unknown soldier was more moving 15 years ago, when I didn't have to pay to get into the main church.

TIP If you want to light a candle, but don't want to pay the twenty pence, bring your own.
