Fantastic visit very informative, educational and enjoyable day. The building is absolutely stunning with amazing architecture. Fantastic seeing where past kings and queens from Great Britain have walked been coronated, married and buried. My only downfall was tourists taking pictures when it clearly states no and individuals need to be aware that this is a working church. The price is higher and would be more expensive for families, however I felt that it was worth it and very educational. The audio guide is a must to be able to find out your away around as it’s vast.Not to be missed if visiting London. Aside from the deep history and jaw-dropping architecture of the church, the help from the staff is friendly and informative. The audio guide adds to the experience. The Brits should be proud - this place is a national treasure!
