Westminster Abbey
The Abbey is a complex of buildings in the heart of London, close to the River Thames. It is one of the most famous tourist attractions in London and has been described as "the spiritual home of the United Kingdom." The Monks of the Order of St Benedict, commonly known as "Benedictines", came to England in 596 AD and became the first Christian monks to live according to the Rule of St Benedict. Their success was largely due to establishing a simple lifestyle that suited British culture. The Abbey and its grounds have been owned by succeeding religious orders since 1066 and the 600-acre site is now owned by the Crown. Henry III was buried in Westminster Abbey on his death in 1272.
