Where to Eat and Stay Near Westminster Abbey
Two directories of what is around Westminster Abbey: where to eat, starting with the Abbey's own Cellarium Café, and where to stay within a 15-minute walk. Every place is a real business with an address and map position from OpenStreetMap and a link to its own website where it has one. This site does not book hotels or tables, no place paid to be listed, and none of these links earns this site anything. The only bookings this site earns from are Abbey tickets and tours.
Where to eat
The Abbey's Cellarium Café and Terrace, at the end of the West Cloister, serves breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea from 8:00am on days the Abbey is open, and a kiosk outside the West Doors sells snacks. Around Parliament Square are pubs within 250 m, and towards Victoria Street are fish and chips and Indian restaurants. Outside food is not allowed inside the Abbey, so the list also points to St James's Park for a picnic.
Where to stay
The closest hotels are around St James's Park station, within about 450 m of the Abbey. The County Hall hotels on the South Bank are about 15 minutes away over Westminster Bridge, and the Whitehall hotels about 800 m north. The list gives each hotel's address and distance and covers what to know first: the Abbey has no cloakroom, no left luggage and no parking.
