⛪ Westminster Abbey

Westminster Abbey is a Gothic masterpiece and one of the most historically significant buildings in Britain. It has been the coronation church since 1066 and the burial place of monarchs, poets, scientists and statesmen — including Geoffrey Chaucer, Charles Dickens, Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, and Stephen Hawking. Poets' Corner, the Coronation Chair, and the medieval Cloisters are highlights. The building itself is extraordinary — soaring Gothic vaulting and centuries of accumulated history.
