The museum occupies a medieval gallery 16 metres above the church floor and offers a remarkable view across the Abbey’s interior.
However, admission is not included with a standard Westminster Abbey ticket. Adult visitors must purchase a separate timed ticket in addition to general admission. This naturally raises an important question: are the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Galleries worth visiting?

If you only had about an hour inside Westminster Abbey, what would you prioritise?
For me, I’d probably focus on a few things rather than trying to see everything:
- Poets’ Corner
- The Coronation Chair
- The Lady Chapel
- The royal tombs
- The Grave of the Unknown Warrior
There’s so much packed into the Abbey that it’s easy to spend the whole visit reading plaques and memorials.
I think first-time visitors sometimes underestimate how much there is to take in, especially if they also want time to just look at the architecture rather than rush through.
If you’ve been before, what would you say is the one thing people absolutely shouldn’t miss?

bloomberg.comWestminster Abbey is one of those London attractions that looks fairly straightforward from the outside, but there is much more inside than many first-time visitors expect.
If you're planning your first visit, these are a few things that can make the experience easier and more enjoyable.
1. Don't plan it as a quick 30-minute stop
The Abbey contains a surprising amount to see. The royal tombs, Poets' Corner, the Coronation Chair, the Lady Chapel and the memorials throughout the building can easily fill 90 minutes.
If you're genuinely interested in British history or architecture, allowing around two hours is more realistic.
2. Look down as well as up

I read about Kew at this page: https://kewgardenstickets.org
Please let me know your thoughts.
