What an Abbey visit feels like
From the nave to cloisters—typical unhurried rhythm:
Arrive via Parliament Square, pause beneath the west front, then step into the nave. Walk slowly—vaults, windows, chapels and memorials reveal themselves in layers.
Pause in the cloisters, visit Poets’ Corner or the Chapter House, and close the loop with a quiet moment in the Garth while London flows around you ☕🌤️.
