There is no time guarantee, only entry guarantee. I would recommend that you get there between 9:30 - 10:00 as the lines will get longer later in the day. London Pass gets you inside, but if you'd like to do a verger group tour those only happen 3 times a day (check the Abby's website for times) you cannot prebook those. Once you get inside the Abby you can purchase an additional verger tour ticket for 10 pounds per person. They will let you know which time may still be available that day.

This caused great resentment amongst the secular clergy of the diocese, who felt they were being snubbed. In the end, negotiations with both the English Benedictines and the community of Fren…
