To anyone visiting Westminster Abbey, I highly recommend sparing a few moments to browse through the store. Its a clean shop with helpful staff that has some good quality (albeit expensive) souvenirs. I got some really nice woven tote bags and some traditional wine gum candies. The staff was incredibly helpful and brought me to the downstairs area (closed off at the time) upon request so I could get a specific bag design I saw before.

Visiting the main Castle Grounds is a wonderful experience, however at the time of day we went it was rather crowded. All things considered, the Quadrangle presents a rare opportunity to see the exterior of some of the Royal Family's private housing.
