Westminster Abbey

Founded by Edward the Confessor in the 11th century, the Abbey has witnessed every coronation since 1066, the royal weddings of H.M. Queen Elizabeth II and Prince William and Catherine Middleton and the funerals of kings and queens. See the burial place of the Unknown Warrior and Poets Corner, where graves and memorials to Dickens, Shakespeare and Lewis Carroll reside next to Henry V and Sir Isaac Newton.
