Westminster Abbey: Westminster Palace
built 237 days ago
The Collegiate Church of St Peter, Westminster, which is almost always referred to as Westminster Abbey, is a mainly Gothic church, on the scale of a cathedral, in Westminster, London, just to the west of the Palace of Westminster. It is the traditional place of coronation and burial site for English monarchs.

Westminster itself refers to those areas by the River Thames around the Palace of Westminster (Houses of Parliament) and Westminster Abbey. The city has ... lent its name, however, to the London borough that covers much of central London (the West End) to the north and west - so don't get confused! For the traveller, it is important to remember that Westminster in the narrow, traditional sense (that used in Wikitravel) is bounded to the north by Trafalgar Square and Soho, to the east by Covent Garden, and so on.

Close to the Palace of Westminster and Westminster Abbey is Westminster School, one of the major English public schools. Three of the four campuses of the University of Westminster are within the borough, although none in Westminster proper.
