Both cathedrals were breathtaking. I really enjoyed the atmosphere. We had to wait in th queue for appx 1 hour (we arrived at 9,15 am). The tour took 3 hours (and could be longer if we really stops everywhere). At Westminster you can go with the online ticket, but St. Paul's requires the paper one. So print it first otherwise there is a difficult procedure to get the ticket. We received electronic guides in both. The recommended application from the description in Headout did not work. I really appretiated the view from St. Paul¨s evend the stairs are really long (appx 500 stairs).

Review of Westminster Abbey – A Truly Breathtaking Experience Visiting Westminster Abbey was an absolutely incredible experience. To be able to walk through such a profoundly historic place — in its entirety — was something truly special. Every corner of the Abbey is filled with centuries of history, and you can genuinely feel the weight and significance of it as you explore. The architecture alone is awe-inspiring. The sheer beauty and grandeur of the building took my breath away. From the intricate details of the stonework to the stunning stained-glass windows, everything about the Abbey speaks of a deep and rich past. Whether you’re passionate about history, architecture, or simply want to experience one of the most iconic landmarks in London, Westminster Abbey is a must-visit. Unforgettable and deeply moving. Getting tickets through AXS (AheadOut) was also extremely easy and smooth — the whole process was hassle-free and straightforward. Highly recommended!

Westminster Abbey was sublime and luminous, as we were lucky enough to visit it in glorious weather. The audio guide is really well designed, so you can adapt your visit to your own pace. For the Tower of London, take the tube and you'll cover the 4.5 km in 10 minutes. Try to catch the changing of the guard. There are 6 of them and they pass right in front of you.

Our guide, Alexandra, was very knowledgeable and helpful. Appreciate how she organized the trip and helped with photos.. We had trouble finding our group on a busy corner with other tour groups meeting at the same location. There was a lot of commotion with the police at the time and we found our group later, after joining the wrong group.. Suggest starting in a more unique spot, and with a description of the contact.

Ticketing experience was good. Our guide, Bossa, was extremely personable, knowledgeable, and professional. Her commentary was very inclusive of all members of the group, relevant and illuminating. She is a credit to the tour guide 'profession'. After our tour with her, it is easy to understand why Westminster Abbey is widely acknowledged as one of the most special places in England, if not the world. Loved the walk up to Buckingham and St James' palaces also.

Simplicity. On the other hand, contradictory information on the email about the arrival time at the abbey. On the one hand, you had to arrive absolutely 15 minutes before the chosen time. On the other, entry possible at any time from 9:30am.

I've been to Westminister Abbey three times now, and I'm fairly certain, this will be my last time. The first two times I went, we bought tickets at the ticket office the same day, went inside and leisurely moved throughout the Abbey with our own printed guide. The second time much the same happened. This last time, although we booked our tickets for the time that your site insisted was one of the least crowded (Tuesday at 9:30 am.), our movement through the Abbey, especially at the beginning, was hampered by a claustrophobic crowd of people who also had to move with us. The Audio Guide was just bad. Hardly anything was included on it, and it was often difficult to discern which number to press, so I ended up not even seeing Queen Elizabeth I's tomb. Also, my partner and I both went looking for Anne of Cleaves tomb, which the guide said was near Richard II's tomb, and simply couldn't find it. I don't know why the Abbey can't do what other tourist places do, even religious ones, and simply put up small plaques at important sites, perhaps with a barcode to link to a fuller description. Of course, Westminister Abbey is in itself astounding, even when it's crammed with people, but, since we paid so very much to get in to see the place, it would have been nice if the actual visit could have been more pleasant.

Loved the walk up to Buckingham and St James' palaces also.

Our guide, Isabelle, was great. Lots of additional insight into the Abbey and the Palace. When I booked the tour it included a viewing of the changing of the guard. When we arrived, we were informed that there was no guard change on Tuesdays. Why would you even offer that option for a day that it does not occur???

It was good There was a problem in that this 110$ ticket was promoted to be seeing 3 places in London where we really only got to see Westminster Abbey The tour guide was nice and knowledgeable but he spent way too much time in the abbey

I have already replied in an email. It was too long a tour visiting some places that were of no interest to me. I was only interested in the 3 places of the hire: Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and, above all, Wensminter Abbey.

There was mention of Big Ben and seeing the changing of the Horse Guard during the tour and neither of those truly happened. Big Ben was talked about from a distance, outside and I believe given the amount paid for the ticket we would at least walk inside and do a brief tour after the Abbey. The tour guide was great for what we did see but felt mislead

The relaxing and instructive aspects of the visit are very much appreciated. We let ourselves be guided through Westminster with pleasant little poses. The guide was diligent, very friendly and naturally conveyed her London culture in French! The discovery of Westminster Abbey was fascinating, and some details would have gone unnoticed without Carole. It's a pity that the tour specifies a visit to Big Ben and Buckingham Palace when it's not possible to enter them in April. The descriptions of these buildings from the outside were very interesting. I'd recommend

Nothing was special. You sold me tickets to got to sea life the day I baught the ticket. Sea life was fully booked that day so could not get in. I also wanted madam tussauds that's why I got the 2 attraction ticket and madam tussauds wasn't included in hat ticket so couldn't use the ticket at all. You robbed me it's a pure scam. I've asked for a refund and been told I need to give 24 hours notice before the attraction time to get refund. I bought the morning of the day I wanted to go so how can I give 2r hours notice to get refund when tickets didn't work due to sea life being fully booked that day and the ticket not cover the other attraction we wanted. I feel robbed and scammed. My 6 year old daughter had the worst day she cried all the day amd all ay home on train back to Surrey. I'm fuming I want my money bacj

Both cathedrals were breathtaking. I really enjoyed the atmosphere. We had to wait in th queue for appx 1 hour (we arrived at 9,15 am). The tour took 3 hours (and could be longer if we really stops everywhere). At Westminster you can go with the online ticket, but St. Paul's requires the paper one. So print it first otherwise there is a difficult procedure to get the ticket. We received electronic guides in both. The recommended application from the description in Headout did not work. I really appretiated the view from St. Paul¨s evend the stairs are really long (appx 500 stairs).

Review of Westminster Abbey – A Truly Breathtaking Experience Visiting Westminster Abbey was an absolutely incredible experience. To be able to walk through such a profoundly historic place — in its entirety — was something truly special. Every corner of the Abbey is filled with centuries of history, and you can genuinely feel the weight and significance of it as you explore. The architecture alone is awe-inspiring. The sheer beauty and grandeur of the building took my breath away. From the intricate details of the stonework to the stunning stained-glass windows, everything about the Abbey speaks of a deep and rich past. Whether you’re passionate about history, architecture, or simply want to experience one of the most iconic landmarks in London, Westminster Abbey is a must-visit. Unforgettable and deeply moving. Getting tickets through AXS (AheadOut) was also extremely easy and smooth — the whole process was hassle-free and straightforward. Highly recommended!

Westminster Abbey was sublime and luminous, as we were lucky enough to visit it in glorious weather. The audio guide is really well designed, so you can adapt your visit to your own pace. For the Tower of London, take the tube and you'll cover the 4.5 km in 10 minutes. Try to catch the changing of the guard. There are 6 of them and they pass right in front of you.

Both cathedrals were breathtaking. I really enjoyed the atmosphere. We had to wait in th queue for appx 1 hour (we arrived at 9,15 am). The tour took 3 hours (and could be longer if we really stops everywhere). At Westminster you can go with the online ticket, but St. Paul's requires the paper one. So print it first otherwise there is a difficult procedure to get the ticket. We received electronic guides in both. The recommended application from the description in Headout did not work. I really appretiated the view from St. Paul¨s evend the stairs are really long (appx 500 stairs).

Review of Westminster Abbey – A Truly Breathtaking Experience Visiting Westminster Abbey was an absolutely incredible experience. To be able to walk through such a profoundly historic place — in its entirety — was something truly special. Every corner of the Abbey is filled with centuries of history, and you can genuinely feel the weight and significance of it as you explore. The architecture alone is awe-inspiring. The sheer beauty and grandeur of the building took my breath away. From the intricate details of the stonework to the stunning stained-glass windows, everything about the Abbey speaks of a deep and rich past. Whether you’re passionate about history, architecture, or simply want to experience one of the most iconic landmarks in London, Westminster Abbey is a must-visit. Unforgettable and deeply moving. Getting tickets through AXS (AheadOut) was also extremely easy and smooth — the whole process was hassle-free and straightforward. Highly recommended!

Westminster Abbey was sublime and luminous, as we were lucky enough to visit it in glorious weather. The audio guide is really well designed, so you can adapt your visit to your own pace. For the Tower of London, take the tube and you'll cover the 4.5 km in 10 minutes. Try to catch the changing of the guard. There are 6 of them and they pass right in front of you.

Purchasing tickets was easy. The tower was beautiful. Exhibits were informational. There were a lot of people! So many people that sometimes it was hard to move freely and see exhibits. My only real complaint is that there were so many people, that the wait to see the Crown Jewels was at least an hour. Unfortunately, we were unable to see them , which was the one thing I was most excited about seeing. I was disappointed about that. Overall, a good experience.

Ticket booking and admission were super reliable. You should plan enough time for the Tower; this is actually a day program. The jewels are beautiful and can be viewed in peace despite the crowds. The crowds are hardly anyone's fault, as we were there too. Apart from that, the Tower is a great and really worth seeing site with lots of small exhibitions and attractions. Overall, London is impressive. You can't see all the highlights with peace, quiet and a sense of culture and art, and it's better to pay the entrance fee selectively. We would rather come back and would be happy to be your customers again. Many thanks and best wishes to the funny ravens.

Azacquiring tickets was very easy, ditto accessing the Tower of London by simply showing the QR codes on your smartphone. We were able to enter without any problem as much as an hour and a half early, perhaps because it was not too crowded, and we visited the site for about 8 hours, availing ourselves of an audio guide in Italian for only £5 each.

We had a wonderful guide who explained so well about the architectural features and symbols throughout the cathedral. She also engaged our 9 year old grandson who enjoyed the visit as much as we did. We loved the words in Latin at the centre of the cathedral placed by Wren's son with the meaning "if you want an epitaph to Sir Christopher Wren, simply look around you!" It was lovely to pause on the hour to reflect that St Paul's is a place of worship and to say The Lord's Prayer together in our mother tongues.

The Cathedral is absolutely beautiful! I didn't give a 5 star rating only because entering the Cathedral took a long time at the desk. We purchased tickets in advance and I had them available on my phone. However, the gentleman at the desk had to look at my phone, take pictures of three different sections of my phone tickets, and then finally admit us. Four families that arrived with NO tickets, purchased and entered before we did. I wouldn't repurchase tickets again. Slower process. It took 15 minutes and we were already on a time crunch.

I was advised to print ticket. This proved difficult so I didn't as a qr code is normally accepted at venues. This particular qr code was not acceptable at the venue (why not) so I had to screen shot, email this to St Pauls. All the while with the queue building up behind me. Very patient staff at St Paul's. They couldn't do enough to sort this.

About Westminster Abbey

Why visit Westminster Abbey?

Westminster Abbey Tickets

Things to know before booking Westminster Abbey tickets

  • When to book tickets: Unless you’re visiting the abbey for individual prayer, you will need to buy a ticket to enter Westminster Abbey. As the abbey is a working church, it may be closed partially or completely for events or ceremonies. You should check the abbey’s schedule and pre-book your online tickets to ensure entry.
  • Ticket options: Want to explore Westminster Abbey at your own pace? Grab Westminster Abbey entry tickets! You can also upgrade to a walking tour that covers Big Ben, Parliament, Buckingham Palace grounds, and the Changing of the Guard. For a deeper dive, go for a skip-the-line guided tour instead!
  • Combo options: However, if you want to make a whole day out of it, you can book a combo ticket that includes a Houses of Parliament, Big Ben & Buckingham Palace guided tour, the Tower of London, St Paul’s Cathedral, or the London Eye.
  • What’s included: Your Westminster Abbey tickets include entry to the church and a multilingual audio guide in Russian, Portuguese, Polish, Dutch, Japanese, Italian, Hungarian, Arabic, French, German, Spanish, and English.

Chapter House

Picture this: monks gathering for daily meetings, kings delivering speeches, and medieval artists painting end-of-the-world scenes on the walls. That's the Chapter House—a striking 13th-century octagonal space with a dizzyingly high vaulted ceiling, ancient floor tiles, and flying buttresses that only add to its dramatic flair.

St Margaret’s Church

History meets politics at St. Margaret's Church, Westminster's unsung gem. Founded by monks, rebuilt under Henry VII, and serving as the House of Commons' parish since 1614, it's seen Churchill's wedding, Raleigh's burial, and generations of high-profile figures.

Both cathedrals were breathtaking. I really enjoyed the atmosphere. We had to wait in th queue for appx 1 hour (we arrived at 9,15 am). The tour took 3 hours (and could be longer if we really stops everywhere). At Westminster you can go with the online ticket, but St. Paul's requires the paper one. So print it first otherwise there is a difficult procedure to get the ticket. We received electronic guides in both. The recommended application from the description in Headout did not work. I really appretiated the view from St. Paul¨s evend the stairs are really long (appx 500 stairs).

This allows you to have a pass for several visits to sites and to plan your program simply. Our only disappointment concerned the tourist bus: the service provider included in the pass offered three not very practical circuits. We waited almost 1 hour to take the green route, and after a quarter of an hour it stopped for its break...
