About us & important disclosure

We are not the official Westminster Abbey website

This website is run independently by a small team of London travel writers. We have no connection to Westminster Abbey, the Dean and Chapter of Westminster, the Church of England, or any government or royal body. The names “Westminster Abbey” and any related marks belong to their respective owners and are used here only to describe the place we write about.

If you need official information — service times, access requests, or press and research enquiries — please contact Westminster Abbey directly through westminster-abbey.org.

Who runs this site

This guide is written and maintained by Dee, a London-based travel writer who has visited Westminster Abbey many times, on quiet weekday mornings and on its busiest Saturdays. Every page here is written by a person, not generated automatically.

Dee checks the Abbey’s official prices and entry times page at least once a month, and again whenever a reader tells us something looks wrong. Prices and opening hours on this site were last verified on 12 August 2026. You will see that date shown next to the numbers on the pages where it matters, so you always know how fresh the information is.

Have a correction? Email info@westminsterabbey.co.uk and it will reach Dee directly.

What we do

We write plain-English guides that help you plan a good visit: opening hours, how to get there, what to see, how long to allow, and honest answers to the questions people ask most. Everything is written for visitors, not for search engines, and we update pages whenever details change.

• Opening hours and ticket prices
• Getting there, with a map and nearest stations
• History, highlights and the royal tombs
• Frequently asked visitor questions

How tickets and commission work

When you book through a link on this site, you buy from a licensed third-party ticket partner (such as Viator) or from the Abbey itself. Your contract and your booking support are with that seller, not with us. We may earn a small commission on bookings made through our links. This never changes the price you pay, and it never decides what we recommend.

Prices shown in GBP (£) are the rates we last checked, including any temporary VAT reduction. Prices, availability and opening times can change at short notice, so please confirm on the checkout page before you pay.

How we research

Our facts come from the Abbey’s own published information, reputable historical sources, and first-hand visits. Photographs are real and openly licensed — you can see every source on our image credits page. If you spot something out of date or wrong, please tell us and we will fix it quickly.

Contact us

Questions, corrections or feedback are always welcome. Email us at info@westminsterabbey.co.uk and Dee will reply personally. We cannot book, change or refund tickets — for that, please contact the seller shown on your confirmation email.
