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.
St. Margaret’s, known as ‘the church on Parliament Square’, is a 12th-century church next to Westminster Abbey. It’s also sometimes called ‘the parish church of the House of Commons’.
In response to the outbreak of Coronavirus in the UK, public worship and general visiting at St Margaret's church are currently suspended.
However, you are welcome to visit us for individual prayer from 10:30am - 12.00pm, Monday - Friday.
The Dean and Chapter of Westminster is committed to developing the Abbey’s mission and ministry through St Margaret’s unique location as ‘the Church on Parliament Square’. Alongside the pattern of regular worship, St Margaret’s will focus on service to Parliament and public life more broadly - both as a place of worship and as a centre of engagement - as well as social and community programmes and Christian formation.

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.
