Westminster Abbey

Westminster Abbey has often been referred to as the most beautiful cathedral in Britain and one of the most interesting holly places in the world. Throughout history, many English monarchs have been crowned and later buried here, but not many know that aristocrats and priests that served at Westminster also rest in the chapels surrounding it.
A great example of Gothic architecture at its finest, Westminster Abbey serves as eternal resting place for some of England’s greatest poets and writers. Geoffrey Chaucer, John Keats, John Milton, William Blake and many others are buried in an area known as “The Poets’ Corner”.
