Westminster Abbey and Coronavirus (COVID-19)
The Abbey will re-open for sightseeing visitors from Friday 21st May.
In the meantime, we remain open for worship and you are welcome to join us at our daily services. We are also open for individual prayer from 10:30am - 12:30pm, Monday to Saturday.
You are surrounded by history at the Abbey, not like a museum where it’s just displayed, but here you are standing where history has happened.
