Westminster Abbey with the London Pass
Kings and queens have been crowned in Westminster Abbey for centuries. With the London Pass you get in if you book a time slot in advance. This page explains how that works and on which days the church is closed to visitors.
Key facts in brief

The multimedia guide is included in admission. It takes you through the coronation church, the royal tombs and Poets’ Corner.
