Westminster Abbey...
One of the most iconic structures in London, Westminster Abbey has long been one of the "must-sees" on any tourist's list. While there was previously a church on the site, construction of the current building was started in 1245. Westminster Abbey has been home to coronations, royal weddings, and state funerals.
Here is one of the many documentaries available. Time Team is a television programme that delves into the history and archaeology of various locations, and this is understably one of the most fascinating.
