Westminster Abbey has been Great Britain's coronation church since 1066 and is the final resting place of seventeen monarchs. It is the site of famous weddings, coronations, and funerals. It has a 1,000-year history connected with British royalty and other famous Britains.
The Abbey is open from 9:15 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. (but the last admission is at 3:30 p.m.). However there are other buildings included with different opening times. Adult admission is 12 British pounds: that's about $24 in today's exchange. You can opt for a Verger-led tour for an additional 5 pounds or get an audio guide to go at your own pace for 4 pounds...or just wander around on your own after having done your home research of the Abbey. Note that the Abbey is home to many special services and may be closed with no notice.
This site also includes a floor plan of the Abbey with links on the right that provide more information. Print out your own map and guide and save a few dollars. These links also contain many photos of the inside and outside of the Abbey. Click on the thumbnails for larger photos.
Also here is a map to locate the Abbey. Note that photos and filming are not allowed in the Abbey. Click on the St. Margaret's Church tab at the top and learn about the nearby chapel known as "the parish church of the House of Commons."
