Westminster Palace, Westminster Abbey and Saint Margaret's Church - London, UK - World Heritage Sites on Waymarking.com

The listing reads:
"Westminster Palace, rebuilt from the year 1840 on the site of important medieval remains, is a fine example of neo-Gothic architecture. The site – which also comprises the small medieval Church of Saint Margaret, built in Perpendicular Gothic style, and Westminster Abbey, where all the sovereigns since the 11th century have been crowned – is of great historic and symbolic significance."

=====================================================================

The co-ordinates chosen are for the visitor entrance to Westminster Abbey. Sadly, like many visitor attractions in this area, there is a fee to enter.

St Margaret's church is probably the lest well known but s worth a visit as it is not far from the other, better known, buildings. Take particular note of the church's clocks... as they are sundials!

The World Heritage Site is a single site but is divided by a road into
two separate areas: the Palace of Westminster and Westminster
Abbey, including St Margaret’s Church.

The Palace of Westminster site is essentially the ‘Houses of
Parliament’, principally Barry’s 19th century New Palace of
Westminster but incorporating the earlier Westminster Hall, New
Palace Yard, half of Old Palace Yard and Black Rod’s Garden to the
south. The site is contained by the River Thames and its embankment
to the east, by Bridge Street to the north and by the Victoria Tower
Gardens to the south. Its western boundary faces Parliament Square.

The Westminster Abbey site comprises the Abbey Church, with its
Cloister, Chapter House, Chapels and medieval and later buildings
and enclosed gardens. The Site also contains part of the Dean’s Yard
group of buildings, including some early Abbey offices, some still in
use and some occupied by the Westminster School. St. Margaret’s
Church also lies within the site. The Jewel Tower, a remnant of the
medieval Westminster Palace is an important free-standing building
within the boundary. The Site is bounded by Broad Sanctuary [Victoria
Street] and Parliament Square to the north; by Great Smith Street to
the west; Old Palace Yard to the east and by Little College Street to
the south.
