It is more than just a church, both literally and figuratively. Westminster Abbey (or the Collegiate Church of St Peter at Westminster, to be exact) is where kings and queens are crowned and where the monarchs are eventually buried, a stunning Gothic beauty with over a millennium of history behind it and more than a millennium to come. The details are seemingly endless, be it the intricate work of the exterior or the nothing-left-to-chance nature of the inside. The old museum inside has been replaced by the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Galleries, housed inside the abbey’s triforium.
