You step off the Underground and the stone of Westminster Abbey rises before you—an austere Gothic silhouette against the pale London sky. The guide slips you through a priority entrance; within minutes the nave opens up, cool and resonant, and the worn wooden seat of King Edward’s Chair sits like a quiet witness to centuries of coronations.
