More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step through the heavy doors of Westminster Abbey and the sound of voices tightens to a respectful hush — sunlight strips through stained glass and the guide’s voice threads anecdotes through the nave. Children crane to read effigies while parents trace the carved stone of the Coronation Chair; outside, the river-born wind pushes you toward Parliament’s towers and the clock face of Big Ben.
