Tour to Westminster Abbey

You will make an imaginary journey into the distant past of the English
Enjoy the charm of one of the most outstanding cathedrals of Gothic style. Thirteen centuries ago, monks, in search of a secluded corner, appeared on the islet of Torney off the banks of the Thames. King Edward the Confessor later moved his residence from the City to a small monastery, marking a decisive step in London’s history: the separation of the centre of trade with the centre of royal and judicial power. The construction of St. Peter’s Church laid the foundation for Westminster Abbey. The current temple became a place of coronations, weddings, as well as the tomb of English kings and queens resting surrounded by a huge number of their subjects. Here are buried Newten, Darwin, Dickens, Handel. The vivid history contributed to the transformation of Westminster Abbey into the national shrine of Britain.
