Is there a dress code at Westminster Abbey?

As Westminster Abbey is a church and place of daily worship, it is asked that you show respect and sensitivity in the way you dress. In winter, it can get cold inside the Abbey, so dressing warmly is recommended. Sensible footwear is also a good idea, as the Abbey floor and steps are uneven.

Arrive early!

Would definitely recommend getting there as early as possible, queues build up fast so booking for the morning is best.
