The Abbey remains open for worship and you are welcome to join us at our daily Eucharist service if you are able to travel here safely within current government guidelines.
However, for the time being we are unable to open the Abbey and St Margaret’s Church for general visiting.
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’.
Westminster Abbey places the highest importance on the health, safety and well-being of our worshippers, visitors, staff and volunteers. In response to the outbreak of coronavirus in the UK, public worship and general visiting at St Margaret's church are currently suspended.
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.
