Feedback on Palace of Westminster and Westminster Abbey schedule

Posted by (Western NY) on

I am booking time slots for the 2 sites and wanted to know if this is reasonable. I think it looks right but i don't want to cut things short. Thanks in advance!

  1. Starting at Palace of Westminster on their guided tour at 10:20 AM. According to the site it is appr 90 mins
  2. Head over to Westminster Abbey with a time range ticket of 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM. I am assuming we will be walking in around noon. Spend 90 mins in the Abbey
  3. Buy a time slot ticket for the Queens Gallery for 1:30 PM - 2:00 PM

Won’t you need a break? I would build in an hour for a sit down and a meal either before or after the Cathedral? Maybe delay the Jewel Tower a bit? You know the actual jewels are at the Tower of London, right?

Thanks for the reply, I meant to type gallery not jewels lol. Yes we will be planning a Tower of London morning during our visit to see the crown jewels. I appreciate your comment on the break; we usually eat hearty in the morning and then snack mid-afternoon with a beer when we are traveling.

Not bad but do expect large crowds which may Or May not be bothersome and affect your viewing patience.

As you like a later snack with a pint consider walking over to the Two Chairman pub after your visit to the Queens Jubilee Gallery.

From the front of the Abbey cross the road and turn Left on Tothill road walking past the entrance to Central Hall. Walk up to Dartmoor Street and turn right. Follow it to the Two Chairman pub which will be on your right as Dartmoor passes Queen Anne’s Gate.

After your respite walk up Queen Anne’s Gate appreciating the Queen Anne Architecture and then turn right and walk into St James Park. Turn left on the Birdcage Walk path and stroll up to the Palace.
