Westminster Abbey Queens Jubilee Gallery

This is the first time that I'm looking at it, but I think you're correct that they don't work together - no way to book a passholder reservation.

I don't know if it has changed, and I don't think they advertise it, but I believe that you can purchase entry to the Gallery on site. When I went in October, a lot of folks didn't know about it, and I think their was a way to get it there. The timed slots are every 15 minutes. You could send an email to them and ask: [email protected] or [email protected]

Thank you for the information!

If a place has timed admission, it usually is possible to book tickets on site, but you might have to wait a long time before your timeslot.

When we went last year the slots where fill and that was in early sept on a week day. So don’t count von the timed slots.
That being said I loved the Gallery and it is well worth the cost.

The gallery is spectacular- the highlight of my visit. I hope you’re able to see this part!

In June we were able to buy tickets on the spot for immediate entrance.

We were just in London in July and visited Westminster Abbey using a London Pass that we purchased from Costco. Obviously, no admission to get into Westminster Abbey but we were told there was a separate admission to the Queens Jubilee Gallery. To be honest, we weren't even aware of the Jubilee Gallery but we just happened upon it as we were touring the Abbey and, frankly, were starting to get tired of trying to read all the gravestones and figure out who everybody buried there was! So anyway, the admission into the Gallery was 5 pounds for my husband and I and our 16-year old twins were free. As somebody above has already mentioned, I was so glad we decided to pay the 10 pounds for the Gallery. It was wonderful! First of all, it's in a part of the Abbey that apparently was never finished, so just that fact was extraordinarily fascinating to me. Second, it just has some awesome artifacts - one of 24 (iI think that the right number) original copies of the Magna Carta, very ancient bibles, an ancient celtic sarcophagus. But what was the most interesting to me were the wax effigies. These are wax casts that were taken of people right after they died and they were extremely lifelike and, in many cases, they were dressed in their original clothing so you really got to see what these people looked like when they were living. These is an effigy of King Charles II and it's so lifelike you feel like he's going to start speaking to you. Anyway, as you can tell, I am very enthusiastic about the Gallery. It's well worth the money!

Thanks so much for the information! I’m so excited to visit the Jubilee Gallery! It sounds fascinating and well worth the extra cost.
