Arrive by 4:30pm to attend the 5pm daily Evening Song mass. Absolutely superlative experience. The entrance into the abbey is on the west side. Photography is strictly prohibited inside.
Burial and coronation place of most English monarchs. Highlights are the coronation chair, poets corner and the lady chapel. A must visit to understands its importance in British history.
The magnificent marble tomb of Mary Queen of Scots, erected by her son James I, is located in the south aisle of the Lady Chapel. It features a fine white marble effigy under an elaborate canopy.
Lovely abbey of historic proportions. See tombs of kings and queens of the UK and learn a bit of history. The self guided tour is terrific. Not photos in the Abbey however.
It's expensive and the line is long. But it's a must see. It's all of British history in one beautiful historic building. Take an audio tour and walk around. It's pretty amazing.
