Standard Entry to the Abbey
Westminster Abbey entrance tickets provide access to the full visitor route — the nave, the Coronation Chair, Poets’ Corner, the Royal Tombs, the Lady Chapel (Henry VII’s chapel), the Chapter House, the Cloisters, and the College Garden (the oldest garden in England, cultivated continuously for over 900 years). The multimedia guide is included in the ticket price.
The standard entrance ticket is the foundation — every other tour format (guided, private, skip-the-line, priority access, combo) builds on this base access. If you want the building at your own pace, at the standard price, without a guide, the entrance ticket is the straightforward option.
