Abbey unlocked tour - July
Tour Westminster Abbey before we open our doors to the public and experience parts of the church only seen by a handful of people.

- Coronation Chair
- Grave of the Unknown Warrior
- Quire
- High Altar
- Lady Chapel
- Scientists' Corner
- Poets' Corner
This is a rare chance for you to see a different side of the coronation church.
Places are extremely limited (just ten people per tour).
