St Margaret's Church, Westminster

St Margaret's Church is the parish church for the House of Commons, located on the grounds of Westminster Abbey. Visitors go here to see a smaller, historic place of worship that serves the UK Parliament, providing a contrast to the scale of the neighboring Abbey.

Visit Duration

Because of its size and nature as a parish church, most visitors spend between 30 and 60 minutes exploring the interior and the immediate surroundings.
