Choir stalls and organ pipes inside Westminster Abbey

In Gothic space, sound is an architecture you can’t see—but feel.

The Choir

Centuries‑old choral foundation; treble voices soaring under stone.
Regular services: Matins, Eucharist, and Choral Evensong.

Choir detail

The Organ & Acoustics

Large pipe organ supports hymnody and ceremonial splendour.
Reverberation enriches choral textures; clarity varies by position.

Visiting Tips

Evensong is free; arrive early for good seating.
Keep silence; no photography during worship.

Bottom Line

Come for the building; stay for the sound.
