When i was at college, during my first year, we hired a room in Westminster Central Hall for many of our lectures.  At the time Westminster Abbey was free, and it was a place that I often wandered through.  However the last time I was there was in 1981, so 40 years on I was really looking forward to the visit, and can say that
a)  I truly was not dissappointed
b)  I shall visit again soon

So, yes, here are loads, but still only a few, photos from my visit to Westminster Abbey and here is the Wikepedia link if you want to see that, instead of the official page




The main Nave





The tomb of The Unknown Warrior is the only grave that is never stepped on





This mosaic is where the actual crowning of the Monarchs takes place

In The Quoire





The Lady Chapel



North Aisle



The RAF Chapel

The tomb of Edward the Confessor


And here are some of the memorials -












The Innocents - young royal children



The Cloisters

The Chapter House

.... the paintings are all of scenes from the book of Revelation, at the end of The Bible


And, the Coronation Chair ...
