Located high above the world-famous abbey of Westminster, the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Galleries offer spectacular views of the church and the Houses of Parliament.
With the opening of Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Galleries in the eastern triforium, in the space tucked high up in the walls below the vaults, we can all share the staggering aerial views of the Abbey’s interior. Once the cubby of stonemasons, maintenance staff, television cameramen and royal commentators - starting with the late Richard Dimbleby at the Queen’s 1953 coronation - they are now open to the public.
The dusty attic once filled with the detritus of centuries is now a surprisingly airy, four-chambered museum showing the Abbey’s priceless collection of historical objects, from the retable, or altarpiece, that survived the Reformation by doubling as the top of a cupboard, to the coronation rule book, the Liber Regalis, which has been used for almost 650 years.
