Buying guide

Not sure which ticket to choose?

Choose a standard entry listing when you mainly want the Abbey visit itself; the Tiqets rows include an entry-only option and an entry ticket with audio guide. Choose a guided listing when you want hosted commentary or a structured Westminster experience, noting that the available third-party titles differ in scope and price. City-pass and combo listings may suit multi-attraction itineraries, but verify that Westminster Abbey entry is included in the selected product and check the final checkout terms.

Good to know before your visit

  • Price

    Official online tickets for May 2026 are £31 for adults. A significant value option is the '1 Adult + 1 Child' family ticket, which admits one child (6–17) free with a paying adult for £31 total. For larger groups, a bundle for two adults and two children is available for £70. Children aged 5 and under enter free and do not require a ticket. While partner prices usually match the £31 official rate, guided tours (£51–£79) add professional narration not included in standard entry.

Registered disabled visitors and their essential companion receive free admission, with tickets bookable in advance. Visitors using reduced categories should bring valid proof of eligibility. Entry for worship or private prayer is free via the Great West Door and does not provide sightseeing access.

  • Timing

    Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to print my Westminster Abbey ticket or is a mobile version okay?

Mobile tickets are fully accepted and preferred. Ensure your QR code is ready on your device with screen brightness turned up before you reach the North Door entrance to avoid delays.

Does a 'skip-the-line' ticket bypass the security check?

No. Every visitor must pass through a mandatory airport-style security check inside the North Door. 'Skip-the-line' or pre-booked tickets allow you to bypass the long ticket-purchase queue, but the security line is unavoidable.

Can I visit Westminster Abbey for sightseeing on a Sunday?

No, the Abbey is closed to tourists on Sundays as it is a working church reserved for worship. You may attend services like Evensong for free, but roaming to see tombs, Poets' Corner, or the Royal Chapels is not permitted during these times.

What is the bag policy and is there a place to store luggage?

Strict bag limits apply: items larger than 40cm x 30cm x 25cm are not permitted. There is no cloakroom or luggage storage on-site; large bags must be left at nearby storage facilities like Victoria or Charing Cross stations.

Are the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Galleries included in the standard entry ticket?

No, the Galleries require a separate timed-entry ticket (typically £5 for adults, free for under-17s). These can be purchased as an add-on during your online booking or at the Jubilee Galleries reception inside the Abbey.

What happens if I arrive late for my booked time slot?

Entry is managed by capacity; while staff usually accommodate arrivals within 30–60 minutes of the slot, entry is not guaranteed if you are late. Arriving 10–15 minutes early is recommended to account for the security queue.

Can I get a refund if I can no longer visit?

Official tickets are non-refundable but can often be rescheduled for a future date within 6–12 months. For full refund flexibility, consider booking through partners like GetYourGuide or Tiqets, which typically offer 24-hour free cancellation.

Are there any photography restrictions inside the Abbey?

Photography and filming are strictly prohibited inside the main church to maintain its atmosphere as a place of worship. However, you are generally permitted to take photos in the Cloisters and the College Garden.
