Upon entering, you’ll be greeted by the vast nave with its intricate stonework and towering columns.

“a must no guide needed they have audio head sets that are great”
— Flo
“We went in July and it was very crowded and warm inside the building but it was stunning to look at. There are so many things that you cannot see it all. The stained glass is amazing. Paid an extra £5 to see the Queens Diamond Jubilee display that you can access in the Poet’s Corner and it was well worth the money.”
— Mary
“good still had to wait in a line for about 10 min during the week at 12:00pm. During the heat wave, the abbey was very warm in some places but was worth it!!”
— Logan
“A bit crowded, due to many tourists in July, but worth seeing so much history, architecture, monuments and memorials.”
— Patricia

— Margaret
