About
When you buy from us, whether online or in the shop, you are helping to maintain the ministry and fabric of the Abbey.
Profits from the Westminster Abbey Shop are gift-aided to Westminster Abbey. Westminster Abbey relies principally on tourist income as it receives no funding from the Crown, the government or the Church of England. It costs over £10 million each year to run the Abbey, and income from visitors (through tickets, retail and catering) helps to maintain our UNESCO World Heritage site. In addition to maintenance and every day running costs, the Abbey also uses income for conservation projects, including major restoration work, the development of education and music programmes, and work to improve and enhance the experience of visitors and pilgrims to the Abbey.
The shop sells many exclusive ranges inspired by the architectural splendour and magnificent interior of Westminster Abbey; souvenir and reference books on Westminster Abbey, religion, the monarchy and London; CDs of the Westminster Abbey Choir, and a wide variety of souvenirs to remind visitors of their time at Westminster Abbey and in London.

Westminster Abbey Exclusive Italian Silk Scarves
Westminster Abbey Shop has collaborated with London based designer Rory Hutton to create historically inspired scarves printed on the finest Italian silk. Hutton's works start as drawings, which are turned into lino-cuts and hand-printed before being digitally composed and coloured.
Each scarf is inspired by the history and archietcture of Westminster Abbey.
From left to right: Blue Chapter Tiles Silk Scarf, £99. Elizabeth I Silk Scarf, £99. Pink Chapter Tiles Silk Scarf, £99. Green Architecture Silk Scarf, £99.
Our Chapter Tiles Silk Scarf, available in pink or blue, is inspired by the medieval tiles that adorn the floor of The Chapter House at Westminster Abbey. Using thirteenth century designs of fleur de lys, Hutton has used bold cololurs to create his own modern interpretation. The tile designs are combined with other architectural details from the Abbey and together with his vibrant colour palette; they create a unique and beautiful response to Westminster Abbey’s architecture.
Our exclusive Elizabeth I scarf is inspired by a portrait of Elizabeth that hangs in the Deanery of Westminster Abbey. Elizabeth holds a glove in one hand and a feather fan in the other, which can be seen in the center of the scarf. Tudor roses and fleur de lys that surround Elizabeth I's ornate tomb can also be seen in the design
