About

A 90-minute guided tour exploring the history and architecture of Westminster Abbey's Benedictine monastery.

This tour traces the story of Westminster Abbey’s Benedictine monastery, from the arrival of the first twelve monks in 960 AD to its dramatic dissolution under Henry VIII in 1540. Participants explore atmospheric spaces including the Nave and Quire, Poets’ Corner, the Cloisters, and the Pyx Chamber to uncover how monastic life shaped the Abbey.
