Worth visiting!

A tip: get in free

If you want to get inside the abbey for free, go to an evensong at 5:00 pm. Enjoy the view while you’re listening, though, because the guards are really strict about not letting anyone linger for sightseeing afterwards. I got to sit in Poets’ Corner, right next to Chaucer’s tomb, and I was able to see everything I wanted to on the way out.

Why I recommend this place to visitors

It was GREAT!!!
Thanks to my students card I didn’t pay a lot (I really don’t remember how much…) and the audioguide was free!
The audioguide was in every language, and it covered all the Abbey!
I loved the Abbey itself, it was full of History and it was really well mantained :)
I really think that everybody who visits London should go for the Abbey!

Why I recommend this place to visitors

Like others have said, this is an overwhelming place. So much history, so many famous people buried or married here. I wonder if visitor numbers have increased due to the Da Vinci Code effect?

I’d like to revisit this place one day.

A tip I have about this place

Be sure to get the cassette player and tape when you go inside. It is very confusing otherwise. There is so much to see, and you may miss some really interesting things otherwise. It is certainly worth visiting. Try going when there is not a tour group going through. Or better yet, go to one of the services.
