Westminster Abbey & Houses of Parliament: Entry + Guided Tour

About this experience

Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament are two of London's most historically significant buildings, and this guided tour combines entry to both in a single 3-hour 45-minute programme. Westminster Abbey, founded in 960 AD and the site of every royal coronation since 1066, holds the tombs of monarchs, poets, and scientists across its Gothic nave and chapels. The tour begins at Parliament Square and includes a headset, so commentary is clear throughout. For those planning a broader day in the capital, London attractions range from the South Bank to the City, all within easy reach of this central starting point. Inside Westminster Abbey, the guide covers the Coronation Chair, Poets' Corner, and the royal burial chapels, with queue-free entry included in the booking. The Houses of Parliament section gives access to interior areas not open during standard public visits, including committee rooms and ceremonial spaces within the Palace of Westminster, which dates to the 11th century in its original form and was largely rebuilt by Charles Barry and Augustus Pugin after the 1834 fire. Tickets cover admission to both sites, an English-speaking guide, and the headset. Hotel pickup and gratuities are not included. Wheelchair access is not available on this tour.
