Book Westminster Abbey and Houses of Parliament tour tickets with an expert English-speaking guide

Two of Britain's most important buildings sit within a few minutes' walk of each other on the north bank of the Thames. This guided tour takes you inside both, with an English-speaking guide who links the royal and political stories that have shaped the country for nearly a thousand years.

Westminster Abbey tour: Coronation Chair, royal tombs, Poets' Corner & Gothic architecture

Your tour begins with timed entry to Westminster Abbey, the coronation church since 1066. Inside, you'll see the Coronation Chair (used at every coronation since the 14th century), the tombs of monarchs from Henry III to Elizabeth I, Poets' Corner where literary figures from Chaucer to Dickens are commemorated and the Lady Chapel with its extraordinary fan-vaulted ceiling. Your guide explains the significance of the key monuments and the ceremonies that still take place here.

Houses of Parliament tour: House of Commons, House of Lords & the Palace of Westminster

From the Abbey, the tour continues to the Palace of Westminster. You'll enter the building and see both the House of Commons and the House of Lords, the two chambers where laws are debated and passed. Your guide covers the traditions of parliamentary procedure, the history of the building (much of which was rebuilt after a fire in 1834) and the role these rooms play in British democracy today.

Westminster tour options: skip-the-line Abbey entry & Parliament audio guide upgrades

Several ticket options are available. The standard tour includes guided access to both sites. Upgrades include skip-the-line Abbey entry and a choice between a specialist guided tour inside Parliament or a self-guided audio experience.
