Explore Westminster Abbey in London, a 11th-century site of British coronations and the resting place of figures like Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin.
Standing as a testament to British history, Westminster Abbey dates back to the 11th century when King Edward the Confessor dedicated it to St. Peter. The current Gothic structure, commissioned by King Henry III, features soaring vaults and intricate stained glass, with its consecration in 1269 marking the start of a long architectural evolution.
Notably, it is the coronation site for nearly every British monarch and the final resting place for luminaries such as Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin. This living church continues to play a significant role in royal ceremonies today.
