Westminster Abbey is an amazing site from any angle. Neither an abbey nor a cathedral the abbey (formerly titled the Collegiate Church of St Peter at Westminster) the abbey has the status of a 'Royal Peculiar' a church directly reponsible to the sovereign.
The abbey is the traditional site of coronations and burials of English (and then British) monarchs.
