Westminster Abbey

Westminster Abbey, where Prince William and Kate copy hermes garden tote Middleton will marry on April 29, has a rich history that makes it one of London's top landmarks.

Benedictine monks first came to the site where Westminster Abbey stands in the 10th century. The area was then called Thorn Island. King Edgar (reigned 959 975) gave land to the monks.

Edward the Confessor, the last of the Anglo Saxon kings, had an abbey built on the grounds. It was consecrated on Dec. 28, 1065. Edward was canonized in 1161 by Pope Alexander III.
