Complete the Purchase
Check out for instant confirmation, then print your ticket — a printed voucher is required and is exchanged at the entrance. Free amendments or cancellation up to 48 hours before your visit.
What Your Ticket Includes
Entrance to Westminster Abbey and the multimedia guide, which is not available during Wednesday Lates. Transport, food and drink are not included.
Age Recommendations
The child ticket covers ages 0 to 17 and there is a family ticket for one adult and one child. The Abbey is a working church, so it is a quieter visit than a museum — worth knowing if you are bringing very young children.
Best Time to Attend
The first slots of the day are the calmest. Queues can build at the ticket office at peak times even with a pre-booked slot, so arrive a little early, and remember the galleries open half an hour after the Abbey itself.
Facilities
The Cellarium Café and the Abbey shop sit in the cloisters, and you can visit them without a ticket. A printed voucher is required at the entrance, and all visitors pass through a security search on the way in.
Accessibility
This is a medieval building: floors are uneven in places and there are steps between some of the chapels. If you have specific access requirements, check the Abbey's own access information before you travel.
Allow around two hours. The multimedia guide follows a route through the nave, the quire, the royal tombs, the Lady Chapel and Poets' Corner, and most people stop far longer than they expect at the last two.
The Abbey closes an hour after last entry — 3.30pm Monday to Friday, 3pm on Saturday — so a late slot leaves little room. It is a working church and occasionally closes for services and special events, so check before you travel if your date is fixed.
