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.

I liked : - how easy it was to buy a ticket, - how easy it was to enter the Abbey, - the ease of use of the audioguide, which is also very well documented. I did regret that we weren't informed that a service was taking place during the chosen time slot, which prevented us from discovering the nave from its best angles. All in all, a great experience!

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.

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.

The cathedral was beautiful. Ticketing was easy but did not realize until after we purchased them that you had to print the email to present to the ticketing desk. It was a bit confusing because we received tickets to scan with our confirmation but kept reading we had to print it. I think if the directions explained why we had to print the ticket it would avoid some confusion. Luckily they can print them there if you email the confirmation to them at the desk.

St Paul’s Cathedral asked me to forward the confirmation email to their email address before issuing the Admission Tickets. It took around 15 minutes to wait for them to receive the forwarded confirmation email and another 3 minutes to issue the tickets. The admission QR code provided by Headout should allow the visitors to enter the Cathedral directly.

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.

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.

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).

Westminster Abbey | Visit a royal church in the center of London

If walls could talk, Westminster Abbey would have the best stories. Coronations, royal burials, and a guest list featuring Chaucer, Newton, and 17 monarchs—this place is Britain's ultimate VIP lounge. With its stunning Gothic design and centuries of history, it's no wonder it's a UNESCO treasure. Want the full royal rundown? Read more!

About Westminster Abbey

Why visit Westminster Abbey?

Westminster Abbey Tickets
  • Walk through a thousand years of royalty: No Westminster Abbey, no coronations—it's that simple. Since 1066, every British monarch has had their big moment here, sitting on the legendary Coronation Chair (yes, it's been around since 1308!). Once a Benedictine monastery, it is now a UNESCO landmarkhistory at its finest.
  • Find beauty in every detail: The Abbey's got everything, from ribbed vaults and towering spires to rose windows that look straight out of a fairy tale. And let's not forget Henry VII's fan-vaulted ceiling because Gothic architects didn't do "subtle."
  • Visit Poets' Corner: With over 3,000 tombs, Westminster Abbey is a who's who of British history. Kings, queens, prime ministers, scientists, and writers—everyone from Newton and Darwin to Dickens and Chaucer have found their final home here.
  • Discover hidden views and treasures: Perched 16 meters above the nave, the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Galleries offer a rare bird's-eye view of Westminster Abbey's soaring vaulted ceilings and medieval stonework; plus a look at 300 artifacts, from coronation regalia to royal funeral effigies!

Westminster Abbey highlights

Westminster Abbey tickets

Poet's Corner

Chaucer didn't know it, but his 1400 burial inspired a literary tradition—Poets' Corner. Over 100 legends, from Shakespeare to Dickens, are honored here. Tucked in Westminster Abbey's south transept, it's a breathtaking mix of simple stone slabs and grand memorials.

About the Poet's Corner
Westminster Abbey tickets

Coronation Chair

This isn't just any old chair—it's the Coronation Chair, the throne of kings and queens since 1308! Commissioned by Edward I to house Scotland's Stone of Scone, it's seen 38 monarchs crowned. Originally gilded and ornate, it now bears graffiti, war scars, and four regal lions.

About Westminster Abbey coronations
Westminster Abbey tickets

Royal tombs

From Plantagenets to Tudors, Westminster Abbey holds the remains of 30 monarchs, each with a story carved in stone. Henry V's tomb sits beneath a chantry, Henry VII's is a Renaissance showstopper, and Mary, Queen of Scots, was reburied here by her son.

About the tombs
Westminster Abbey tickets

Henry VII Lady Chapel

What started as a planned shrine for Henry VI became one of Britain's most dazzling royal mausoleums. Henry VII's Lady Chapel is home to 15 monarchs, including Elizabeth I and Charles II. Its fan-vaulted ceiling is world-famous, and the tomb of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York gleams in stunning gilt bronze.

About the Lady Chapel
westminster abbey tickets

Choir

From coronations to BBC Proms, Westminster Abbey's choir knows how to put on a show. Established in the 14th century, it features 30 boy choristers and 12 professional Lay Vicars. Their repertoire spans everything from medieval chants to modern masterpieces, making them one of the world's most celebrated vocal ensembles.

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.

westminster abbey tickets

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.
