Why does it matter?
Westminster Abbey has hosted coronations since 1066. Royal tombs and Poets’ Corner form part of its historical and cultural story.
The Abbey is separate from Parliament
Westminster Abbey is a church; the Palace of Westminster is the Parliament building. Admission to one does not provide access to the other. Their proximity does not mean both interiors are included in a tour.
Planning a visit
The Abbey remains a place of worship, and services or ceremonies can affect sightseeing hours. Independent visitors can use its official ticketing and calendar information. Tour admission is determined by the daily itinerary and inclusions.
