It stands just west of the Houses of Parliament in the Greater London borough of Westminster. Situated on the grounds of a former Benedictine monastery. In 1987 Westminster Abbey, St. Margaret’s Church, and the Houses of Parliament were collectively designated a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Admission Included
Houses of Parliament
As well as visiting Westminster Abbey, you will have the opportunity to take a walk around the City of Westminster itself and see some of London's most famous and iconic buildings and landmarks. From the outside, you will admire the Palace of Westminster, perhaps better known as the Houses of Parliament, the home of British democracy.
Big Ben
Just next to the Palace of Westminster is one of the most iconic sights and internationally recognizable monuments in the world, Big Ben. The name “Big Ben” is actually the nickname given to the Great Bell of the clock, though it is commonly used to refer to both the clock and the clock tower itself. The original name of the tower housing Big Ben was “The Clock Tower”, but it was renamed “Elizabeth Tower” in 2012 to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II.
St. James's Park
You will round off your tour with a relaxing stroll through the idyllic greenery of St. James's Park. One of the main features of the park is its lake with two islands, West Island and Duck Island. The latter is so-called due to the lake's collection of waterfowl, and you might even catch a glimpse of a resident colony of pelicans!
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
