Being the typical tourist in LondonToday Matt and I walked around London sightseeing like a typical tourist. Some times being tourists is inevitable. Buckingham Palace Big Ben and the London Eye The London Tube The westminster Abbey churchWestminster Abbey, formally known as the Collegiate Church of St. Peter at Westminster, is a large Gothic abbey church in the City of Westminster, London. It is located just to the west of the Palace of Westminster. It is one of the most notable religious buildings in the United Kingdom and has been the traditional place of a king and queen's appointment to the church as well as a burial site for English. Between 1540 and 1556 the abbey had the status of a cathedral. However, since 1560, the building is no longer an abbey or a cathedral. It is now a "Royal Peculiar" – a church responsible directly to the Sovereign. The building is still original from the 11th century. Pictures weren't allowed inside. Here's a few stock photos to show the beautiful church. Original photos of mine of the Westminster Abbey |
