Voice and Verse Bookshelf
Take time to pause and enjoy a poem or two whilst you explore Westminster Abbey.
Immerse yourself in the work of poets like Alfred, Lord Tennyson and Elizabeth Barrett Browning who are commemorated in Westminster Abbey. Read a selection of poetry that celebrates the vibrant city of London in which the Abbey is located and discover the writing of poets who have not been memorialised in Poets’ Corner.
Reading materials will be available for adults and families and seating is available near the bookshelf.
