This place is absolutely huge. The architecture is amazing. It was amazing seeing all the famous graves/monuments to all the monarchs and famous people of English history. I would say it is a definite must see if you are going to London. The admission price isn't bad and you can get a discount if you are a student or a senior citizen. The only thing I would saw that is bad is that we had a huge school group in front of us the whole time which was extremely annoying. Also, after awhile, everything tends to look the same. If I went again, I would take a guided tour to get more of the historical side of the abbey.

This is just such an amazing place! My greatest thrill was to stand on the grave of one of my favorite composers, Handel. You can pay for a tour but sometimes you can just listen in on groups around you. It's quiet and reverent. We also went outside and visited the gardens which were beautiful and a nice place to rest our feet and relax.

When I went to the Abbey I found it very interesting. I was amazed at the details on the burials and all the work taken.

When I was there I found the tomb stones very interesting and that all the artifacts and information you can get from the leaflets and the guide that you listen to.

Memorable and humbling. Learning about the history of the Abbey is an unforgettable experience. Reading about it pales in comparison to walking around and listening to a docent explain all the nooks and crannies.

You really can't beat the history lesson here--I learned more about the royal family here than almost anywhere else. My kids (10 & 6) enjoyed reading all the history too, and looking at the beauty and just overwhelming majesty of the place.

As historic as the abbey is in the minds of tourists, it is a rather boring place and a big tourist trap. I mean, come on now. They set up chairs and ropes to ultimately lead you to the gift shop rather than allow more freedom/flexibility to roam about to marvel at the history. A bit lame... check it out from the outside and save yourself 10quid.

it is beutiful in there, and worth a visit,but its hard to get the whole goth history feel of it because its so touristy. maybe try to aim your visit when its a little less crowded. oh, and the little museum in there was definetly my favourite part about it. its actually pretty cheap in compare to other london attractions (10 GBP).

the lines are atrocious, but there is so much history! we went in feb and the lines weren't as bad. if you're there during tourist season, you might wanna try St. Pauls. lines are never as long and it's also amazing to see.

We arrived at the Abbey on a Sunday when there were no tours available. We attended a 3 pm service (Evensong) instead. It was free and quite an experience. We are not Catholic but enjoyed attending a service in such a beautiful and historical place. After service we were able to stay a little while and look around and ask questions of the staff about the Abbey. The were very helpful and pleasant. You cannot take pictures on the inside. The music and singing of the choir were beautiful. If you do attend a service please plan on staying for the entire service. While we were there a few people stood up and left during the service. It was disrespectful at the least.
