Historic Literary London Walking Tour

Founded by Edward the Confessor in 1065, Westminster Abbey holds monuments and tombs of everyone from Queen Elizabeth I to Charles Darwin. Though the church and the cloisters are worth exploring, writers will gravitate to Poets' Corner, which is located in the South Transept. Here you'll find the tombs of luminaries such as Chaucer, Browning, Dickens, and Tennyson, among others, as well as memorials to Milton, Keats, Shelley, Dylan Thomas, and Henry James.

To get to Westminster Abbey, take the tube to Westminster or St. James's Park. See the Westminster Abbey site for a list of hours.
