Places to visit (VIII): Westminster Abbey



My favourite place to visit in London. Enormous, magnificent, wonderful, gorgeous, historical... There aren't enough adjectives to describe Westminster Abbey. It is an example of early English Gothic and was founded by Edward III in 1605, although mainly built with Richard III. All the flags, tombs, graves, ornamentation, kings and queens crowning ceremonies, wedding ceremonies... It is not only part of the history of England, but the History of England itself. Never mind the queues: you must visit it wether you like it or not. Is it clear? I love the Poet's Corner with Shakespeare, Donne, Melville... and actors such as Groucho Marx. In a few words, incredible, gorgeous and unforgettable. I always visit it when I'm in London...
