The Abbey and St Margaret's Church are currently closed for general visiting but we remain open for worship and you are welcome to join us at our daily services.
The Abbey is also open for individual prayer from 10:30am - 12:30pm, Monday to Saturday.
Guided tours
Guided tours, led by our vergers, are a great way to see the Abbey. School groups and private tour groups are also welcome to visit us.
Guided tours are not available at this time.
Verger-guided tours
No one knows the ins and outs and history of Westminster Abbey like our vergers. They lead small tour groups several times a day.
With a verger, you’ll get to see special parts of the Abbey, such as the Tomb of St Edward the Confessor, not accessible to general visitors. The verger will also take you to see Poets' Corner, royal tombs, the Lady Chapel and the nave – and provide an expert commentary.
Space is limited for these tours and commentary is in English only.
Tour times
Guided tours are unavailable until further notice.
How to book
For a verger tour, you’ll pay entry price plus £7.
General admittance tickets to the Abbey can be purchased in advance online but a verger tour can only booked when you arrive at the Abbey.
