Stay in Westminster and see how the architecture of the city of Westminster is used in current media and head to the Westminster Abbey where Prince William and Kate Middleton will be wed this coming April.[url=http://londonpass.com/london-attractions/westminster-abbey.html] Westminster Abbey[/url] is also in the press for its role in the recently released film; The King’s Speech. A quintessentially British film with actors, Colin Firth and Helena Bonham Carter playing the lead roles, it has also been nominated for seven golden globes. One key section of this film is filmed in the Abbey and the story is based on the true story King George VІ and his personal battle with a speech impediment. This is an example of how the settings of history can be mixed with the present making the royal stories of the past come alive for the visitor.
