A colorful mid-century travel poster promotes London with bold typography and stylized architectural imagery. At the top, the word “LONDON” appears in large, uppercase purple letters. Just below and to the left, “FLY TWA” is printed in red, alongside a small airplane silhouette flying across the scene. Three recognizable London landmarks are depicted in a stylized, graphic form: On the left is Big Ben (the clock tower of the Palace of Westminster), shown in light blue and green tones with its clock face clearly visible. In the center stands Nelson’s Column, a tall stone column topped with a statue of Admiral Nelson, with sculpted lions at its base. On the right is Westminster Abbey, illustrated with detailed Gothic architecture, including pointed arches and large stained-glass windows filled with colorful patterns. The background is mostly white, allowing the landmarks’ colors—blues, greens, purples, and warm stone tones—to stand out clearly. The composition is clean and balanced, using simplified shapes to highlight London’s historic architecture and evoke the appeal of travel to the city.

💙📚 Contemporary accounts describe people crying out her name and calling her a mother of the nation.

Queen Elizabeth 1, died #otd 24 March 1603, remembered in Westminster Abbey in a magnificent white marble monument and in stained glass in the Chapter House.

A notebook carried through the trenches of the #GreatWar had a list of names. Determined to trace these men, Mark Scott turned detective & unravelled a remarkable connection to the #UnknownWarrior, unearthing new documents telling of those not selected for burial in #WestminsterAbbey in 1920.

🔴 #YESTERDAY:
The Royal Family were met with boos and heckled at #WestminsterAbbey in #London

Citizens yelled “Parasites! Parasites!!”

The British see the Royal Family as an expensive, taxpayer funded institution while actual citizens live in poverty

They let their country be invaded

Digital art that is in the style of a blueprint. Shows the front facade of Westminster Abbey with its towers reaching upward. There's also a "royal seal" of the King and the name of the Abbey in Latin as if these are original blueprints.

If you only had a day in #London where would you go first?
🇬🇧 ❤️

#WestminsterAbbey would be high on my list because of the #architecture and history.

Thanks to someone in Florida who picked a print based on photos from my visits there.

I'm excited to be giving a #WestminsterAbbey Lunchtime Talk on Weds 15 April. Inspired by my book #AHistoryOfEnglandIn25Poems, discover how poetry can connect us with the past. We'll encounter familiar voices and forgotten stories. Who gets memorialised, and who does not? #PoetsCorner #history #talk

I've had a great afternoon at #WestminsterAbbey, preparing for something I'm excited to tell you about soon. I spent most of my time in Poets' Corner: a real pilgrimage. I found myself reflecting on who's memorialised here, and who's missing. Who would I like to see honoured in this hallowed place?
