Walk through the history of England without leaving home.
Screenshot by Kent German/CNETIf you fancy a walk through Westminster Abbey, but can't afford a ticket to London, then open Google Street View instead. The centuries-old Gothic church that's played host to royal wedding and funerals and the coronation of monarchs was added to Google Street View earlier this month, giving viewers a full tour of the rich interior and the history inside.
Starting at the front doors you can walk the length of the Abbey's vast nave while visiting sights like the Coronation Chair, the High Altar and the Grave of the Unknown Warrior. A bonus of a virtual visit is that you're the only tourist in the place and you can skip the £20 entrance fee ($26 or AU$34). If you like, you can even take a stroll down the aisle while humming the Wedding March.
The Street View tour also is available on Westminster Abbey's website, which adds pop-up facts about the various sights inside. Other renowned interiors on Google Street View include The White House, the Palace of Versailles and the Canadian Parliamentary buildings in Ottawa.
