About this tour
Begin your London Westminster Abbey tour with coffee and pastries in the Cellarium, a medieval undercroft dating to the 14th century. Then follow your professional guide through the cloister entrance with priority access, leaving more time to take in the Abbey’s remarkable architecture and history.
Over up to 90 minutes inside, discover the stories behind the shrine of St Edward the Confessor, royal tombs, and memorials to celebrated figures. Hear about the 40 English and British coronations held here since 1066, as well as the coronation of Charles III, the wedding of William and Kate, and the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II. The London Westminster Abbey tour combines a guided visit with a relaxed refreshment stop before you explore this landmark at a group size capped at 20 passengers.
Meet outside the Westminster Abbey Shop on Dean’s Yard at least 10 minutes before your selected start time. Join the tour to experience the people and events woven into one of Britain’s most storied buildings.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.76 from 374 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in London
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.7.
