"Westminster Abbey, one of the most historic religious buildings in London, has held countless coronation ceremonies over the past millennium and is a popular London attraction in its own right."
"Another UNESCO World Heritage site, this spectacular gothic church dates back to 1066. Located just a three-minute walk from Westminster tube station, this magnificent church has hosted every royal coronation since its creation and witnessed 16 royal weddings, including that of Prince William and Kate Middleton. Everyone is welcome to join a daily service, free of charge. These services usually run five times a day and are a great way to see the church in action. If you’d prefer to explore the abbey on your own time, visitors are welcome between 09:30 AM and 3:30 PM for a fee." - MATADOR_NETWORK

"William and Kate’s wedding brought a 21st-century focus to this 700-year-old abbey, which is built on the same spot as a Benedictine monastery enlarged by Edward the Confessor in the 1040s. The site of every coronation since 1066, it boasts an ornate Gothic architecture that gives it a statuesque presence, dominating Parliament Square; it’s easy to combine with a visit to Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament next door."
