Westminster Abbey is one of the main symbols of the United Kingdom and one of the most popular attractions in London. Under these Gothic arches of this ancient building for centuries coronations and royal wedding have been held. Here, within the walls of the abbey, the most famous people of England are buried, including Geoffrey Chaucer, Charles Dickens and Sir Isaac Newton.
The History of Westminster Abbey, closely intertwined with the history of its country, began at the end of tenth century. Strolling through the dizzying symmetrical corridors of the temple, you can enjoy not only incredibly beautiful and rich interior decoration, but also its interesting story told by tour or audio guide.
