Across from the Houses of Parliament is Westminster Abbey - a magnificent Gothic structure where innumerable members of the British royal family have been christened, married, crowned and interred.

Consecrated in 1065 under Edward the Confessor, who was buried here just a week later, the Abbey saw just one coronation, that of King Harold, before the Norman invasion of 1066.

Many famous figures from history are buried or commemorated here, including the likes of Sir Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, William Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde and Sir Winston Churchill.

Highlights include Henry VII's Chapel, Poet's Corner and the Coronation Chair.
