We trod the boards looking for the best in British culture and art
Today we went to Westminster Abbey, and I thought that the entire place was one of the prettiest we’ve seen yet. The architecture inside the church was beautiful, featuring tall gothic elements that created such a presence in the space. Beyond just the architecture it was fascinating to get a taste for just how deep …

Today we toured Westminster Abbey in which we were told to focus on the graves we walked on and the statues we looked up at. Westminster Abbey was a huge structure that housed a place of worship, a royal wedding venue, the seven-thousand-year-old coronation chair, and over three thousand tombs. The building was surrounded by …
Westminster (also pronounced WestMUNster) Abbey reminded me immensely of St. Paul’s Cathedral. While the architecture on the outside is very different, the graves and inner chapel definitely had similarities. First off, I am SICK of these British buildings having the graves on the floor. I get so eerie about not stepping on graves, but when …
Today we took a wonderful tour of Westminster Abbey. I was super excited to see where William and Kate got married! The tour started off semi slow, but soon picked up when we entered the coronation room. I also walked by what is known to be the “oldest door” in London. I really wanted to …

I think that Westminster Abbey is beautiful and it is a good option for the coronations to take place at, …
First off, I would like to say I have long been fooled about Westminster Abbey. The famous church where the United Kingdom crowns their monarchs is not the building adjacent to Elizabeth Tower (the iconic fancy tower with the clock which most of us incorrectly refer to as Big Ben). Parliament sits next to the …
Westminster Abbey was a hot, packed experience. I loved looking at all of the architecture and the stained glass. But with the amount of people also inside with us, I wanted out. I’m learning I’m not a huge fan of crowds. No scratch that I’m not a huge fan of crowds when I am hot …
Westminster Abbey was so beautiful and historic. Being there with so many important figures who have passed was a little haunting, but it gave me a larger appreciation for those who have done so much for humanity. The entire building was a piece of art that I’ll never forget. One of the graves I found …
Fringe theatre is a very frivolous term because there are so many opinion-based factors that determine whether or not a theatre is fringe. This ranges from theatre size, to the size of the company that is producing it, and even to the quality and funding the show might have. Even with these examples, not all …
