Pros

  • Westminster Abbey (not only beautiful, but historically fascinating as every step brings you in contact with a tomb of a famous monarch, scientist, poet, etc.)
  • We toured Westminster Abbey (I was in awe)
  • January will be perfect for seeing both the Tower of London and Westminster Abbey without a lot of crowds. My February visits have been very “crowd-free”.
  • If York Minster is of interest, then Westminster Abbey likely is as well? As Gothic as they come
  • Go to Westminster Abbey for Evensong. Amazing building, fantastic choir, and if you arrive at the right time and say you’re there for Evensong, it costs you nothing.

Cons

  • Parent context: I love Westminster Abbey, but I prefer the feeling of spaciousness and light at St Paul’s Cathedral. Every time I have been to Westminster Abbey it feels rammed. For people with limited mobility it could be uncomfortable....

Go to St Paul’s Cathedral and Westminster Abbey as both have served as important hosts to weddings, funerals, and all Coronations have occurred at Westminster Abbey

The must see’s for history buffs: The Tower of London, and Westminster Abbey. Plan on a minimum of a half day in each... In the case of both, book their internal tours.

Westminster Abbey and St Paul's Cathedral are well worth a half day visit.

Do Westminster abbey, the museum is great but with such little time I think the abbey is preferable!
