The Collegiate Church of St Peter at Westminster, which is almost always referred to popularly and informally as Westminster Abbey, is a large, mainly Gothic church, in Westminster, London, just to the west of the Palace of Westminster. It is the traditional place of coronation and burial site for English. Once a week, there are special events and festivals, lectures and debates, concerts to bell ringing…
The Westminster Abbey Museum is located in the 11th century vaulted undercroft of St Peter. The exhibits include a unique collection of royal and other funeral effigies, together with other treasures, including the 13th century altarpiece known as the Westminster Retable.
It’s classified as World Heritage Site by the UNESCO since 1987.
