The Abbey's iconic west towers by drone.
The towers were designed by architect Nicholas Hawksmoor and completed in 1745. They stand 225ft high, with stunning views of Westminster and across London from the top.

One of the more unusual manuscripts in the Abbey is our medieval bestiary, which features illustrations of animals both real and imaginary with moral lessons about each one.
Here we have a fearsome griffin, a manticore, and a walrus.
