Get to grips with Britain’s royal and political history on this tour of Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament. Step inside the famous Gothic abbey, which has been the setting for almost all English coronations since William the Conqueror’s crowning in 1066, along with many other royal occasions including Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding. If you choose the option, you can get into the British political system, getting an audio guided tour of the House of Lords and Houses of Commons.
Private tour: The guide will give a tour outside the Parliament, but the entrance to this monument is not included.
The Abbey has been the coronation church since 1066, and is the final resting place of 17 monarchs. The church we see today was begun by Henry III in 1245. It’s one of the most important Gothic buildings in the country, and has the medieval shrine of an Anglo-Saxon saint at its heart.
