Fodor's Review:

Dwarfed by its neighbor, Westminster Abbey, St. Margaret's was founded in the 11th century and rebuilt between 1488 and 1523. As the unofficial "parish church" of the Houses of Parliament it's much sought after for weddings and memorial services—if you're on the list of VIPs who can use it for such ceremonies. Samuel Pepys, Chaucer, and John Milton worshipped here, and Winston Churchill was married here in 1908. The east window celebrates another union, the marriage of Catherine of Aragon and Henry VIII.

Open: Weekdays 9:30-3:30, Sat. 9-1:30, Sun. 2-5 (entry via east door). Church may close on short notice for services, so call ahead
