On episode 21, Julie & Art visit Westminster Abbey in London England.  

Westminster Abbey

Join us on this podcast to learn what a list to Westminster Abbey can offer.  We'll explore the history of this architectural wonder.  Step inside with us to hear about the treasures contained in this important British sacred space.  

Our visit highlights the history of the monarchy in this space, including the origins of Parliament.  We'll walk you through numerous altars and chapels.  Hear about the numerous tombs and crypts which number in the hundreds at Westminster Abbey.

After our walk through of the famous Abbey, we share some fun facts.  Listen to learn about Britain's oldest door.  We have stories of how some of the treasures were hidden during World War II.  And there are more secrets, but you have to listen to find out what they are.  

Travel Resources

We consulted “DK Eyewitness Travel Guide Great Britain” for identifying specific attractions to include during our trip.  The book was helpful to identify walking tours, museums, as well as providing days and times that specific places are open to visit.  We recommend purchasing a book similar to this one when planning a longer trip.

We hope this episode inspire you to consider this historical attraction as part of your UK travels.  Our top tips (listen to the podcast) are shared to help you make the most of your visit.
