Hello all. Husband and I will be back in London mid September for 5 days (Monday 9/14; depart Saturday 9/19). We spent 2+ weeks in London a few years ago and saw all the major sights including a rather rushed & very crowded visit to Westminster Abbey. However, we'd love to go back to the Abbey and spend more time there for a more in-depth look. I've been looking at various options and would love to hear your recommendations about the tours available.
Am thinking of doing the Abbey's Verger-led tours on Tuesday morning, get a quick lunch nearby afterward, then perhaps do the Tuesday London Walks at 2pm "Old Westmister - 1,000 Years of History" two-hour tour. Does anyone know if that includes a tour of the Abbey? Their website summary seems a bit vague but also seems to include other sites. Alternatively, am looking to instead move our "Abbey day" to Friday and do only the London Walks "Secrets of Westminster Abbey" tour at 10.45 am (2 hours) then just roam on our own. We've not yet been inside the Parliament buildings so not sure yet how to go about gaining access...still researchingthat. Any comments, recommendations or suggestions would be most appreciated...Cheers!
