Westminster Abbey is the final resting place of Britain's monarchs and
where coronations generally occur. The interior of Westminster Abbey
contains the most impressive medieval architecture in London, ranging in
style from the French Gothic of the nave to Henry VII's Tudor chapel.
In addition to crypts and tombs of monarchs one can find the final resting
places (or monuments) for many celebrated British politicians, musicians, actors, and
poets, including such greats as Charlie Chaplin, William Shakespeare,
Frederick Handel, and Charles Dickens. The abbey also contains Britain's
"Tomb of the Unknown Warrior." Inside the chapel of Henry VII, you
will find Elizabeth I's huge tomb along side the tomb containing the body of her
sister, "Bloody" Mary I.
