Westminster Abbey is one of the country’s most important places of worship. As well as the visually stunning Gothic style architecture, the Abbey plays a huge role in the nation’s heritage. The Coronations of every new King or Queen have taken place here since 1066! You can even see the actual Coronation Chair.
In recent times the Abbey has hosted the funeral services of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022 and Diana, Princess of Wales in 1997. The wedding of William, Prince of Wales and Catherine, Princess of Wales took place at the Abbey in 2011.
A busy working church, Westminster Abbey hosts services every day of the week and welcomes worshippers irrespective of their faith.
