Explore at Your Own Pace
The Westminster Abbey multimedia guide (included with the standard entry ticket) provides narrated commentary at approximately 20 stops throughout the building — covering the Coronation Chair, Poets’ Corner, the Royal Tombs, the Lady Chapel, the Chapter House, the Cloisters, and the nave. The guide allows you to move at your own pace, spend as long as you choose at each stop, and skip the sections that do not interest you — the self-directed format that suits independent visitors who prefer not to follow a group.
The multimedia guide is available in multiple languages and includes audio narration, images, and contextual information at each stop.
