About the Abbey
An architectural masterpiece of the 13th to 16th centuries, Westminster Abbey has become a treasure house of artefacts. This is also the coronation church where some of the most significant people in Britain's history are buried or commemorated.
Summer Season: Beyond Victory
On VE - or Victory in Europe - Day in May 1945, Westminster Abbey hosted thanksgiving services every hour, welcoming an estimated 25,000 people. Join us this May and June as we unpack life beyond victory, with a season of events about rebuilding society and the legacy of conflict.
The King Charles III Sacristy
We're constructing a new building - named in honour of HM The King - to transform the welcome we offer to the millions of people who come to the Abbey to enjoy one of the world’s great churches.
