It's not waffle house hats, it's all hats. The abbey is still a place of worship first and foremost, and a tourist attraction second. I'm sure it's a very fetching hat for all other occasions though.
I should just add: The rule is that gentlemen should remove their hats in any Christian place of worship. Ladies may keep theirs on, although I'd still recommend against a lady wearing any sort of cap, as opposed to a ladies proper hat, in a church. I'd guess this would be true in any Christian place of Worship, not just in Europe, but throughout the world. Westminster Abbey is primarily a place of worship, and a place for events of great National significance (Royal Weddings, funerals of prominent persons, etc.). Its role as a tourist destination is only third on the list. Really glad Cody' enjoying his visit to London. It's a great place to visit and curious folks are most welcome!
Seeing these videos, I now just remember Two tourists I overheard in the V and A Right we do this then the British Museum, then the national gallery, and this afternoon we can go enjoy ourselves.
I always say to Anglo Americans that these places are their history too. They often pre date the discovery of America. So it’s just as likely their ancestors built and used them as mine.
I enjoy these You Tube depictions of London. Regarding the hats, - in churches in the UK and the rest of Europe men are supposed not to wear a hat of any kind (apart from Bishops etc wearing a mitre but even these are not kept on all the time). In the past it was an expectation that women always wore a hat in church.
You mention Richard 1[The Lionheart,Coeur de Lion],who was actually born in/at the Beaumont Palace[long gone]in Oxford.UK.[08-09-1157].. His father being Henry 11[2nd],and his mother was Eleanor of Aquitaine. He died aged 41 in Aquitaine,France,and was buried in Fontevraud Abbey,Anjou.France.... I like your style,and the videos are short,but thoughtful..and well informed. Nice one.
Queen Elizabeth II is buried in St Georges Chapel at Windsor Castle, just outside London. I find it hard to believe that you don't know that (as a man) you are required to remove your hat in church.
I am atheist but l would never wear a hat in any church or religious building out of respect. Watching Americans in baseball caps walking around a 1000 year old cathedral, talking at 100 decibels is cringe worthy
Puritans were obliged to wear hats in church, and women nowadays should wear a head covering to attend a service. Not sure when or how or if these requirements changed. Lovely vid.
Anne of Cleves was Henry 8th's wife for a short time, supposedly they never had sex and their marriage was annuled leading to Henry's long time minister Henry Cromwell losing favour and being executed for treason (displeasing the king). She's kind of overlooked.
@@orbytl2799 Well, the Chief Rabbi gets a pass at the Coronation and similar events! but the weird habit of wearing baseball caps or beanies indoors is (or was) peculiar to the US and comparatively recent.
Only sad pedants would correct you on calling the tower Big Ben. It was only renamed Elizabeth Tower fairly recently. It's fine and acceptable, and will always be Big Ben!
I agree with you about pedants .... but will, nevertheless, be one myself for a moment. Yes, the tower housing the bell known as Big Ben was indeed renamed the Elizabeth Tower relatively recently - to commemorate one of Queen Elizabeth's jubilees (Golden, perhaps?). But before that I believe it was simply called (officially) the Houses of Parliament 'Clock Tower'. Big Ben has only ever really meant the principal bell inside. You never know, it might come up in a pub quiz one day and you can join 'the pedantry' with you accurate answer. 🤣
For supporters of Oliver Cromwell, he was buried at Westminster Abbey, but on the return of Charles 11 he was exhumed with great disrespect, and his Head was removed from his body and put on the pike. Even today we hold this is in great disrespect, and of course they are now have the wonderful statue of Oliver outside the house of commons as a man of the people who represented the people?🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧

As a brit living in New Zealand for the past 20 years I'm really enjoying these videos.
"Westminster Abbey, the Who's Who of dead people in London" Tourist poster tag line right there. Golden.
I was lucky enough to attend Evensong at Westminster ....
Incredible!

Same rules all over Europe at least for holy buildings
I think that was just a 'bit'
Clearly not for the Queen’s funeral of the Royal Wedding. Plenty of hats around.
Ladies are allowed to wear hats in a church but not men.

This tour of London is oddly addictive! Queen Elizabeth II was married here, but buried at Windsor Castle.

Even as a Londoner that place still blows my mind. So much history brought to life. People I was taught about at school actually there. Buzz.

Richard 'Lionheart' barely set foot in England. 😊
I think hats in general are not cool in church baby!
❤
Waffles or not!
I'm a bit of a history nerd......and I'm so envious!
Thanks for sharing & giving us the next best thing to being there.
The crypt at St Pauls is full of famous dead people as well. Like Nelson and Wellington. But not much room left in there for me.
Thunk
One of the most overlooked places is the Templar Church, especially the organ being played if you visit, very moving.~Trooper
Hats off in church. Sign of respect. Simple. BTW Check out the Hockney window.

Not your hat as such, but all hats should be removed in church.
Next on your list...
Painted Hall, Old Royal Naval College, London SE10
Not free to enter but well worth the money... £16.50
funny
Hats in a church are deemed disrespectful
not for women. Also, depends on the religion...same God, different rules !
@@stirlingmoss4621 He said church, not "house of worship".
Queen Elizabeth II is buried in St Georges Chapel at Windsor Castle, just outside London. I find it hard to believe that you don't know that (as a man) you are required to remove your hat in church.
You failed to mention, it costs £30 to enter Westminster Abbey. I, a Londoner, think that's extortionate.

4th wife. She had a very lucky escape
To be fair Edward the Confessor is a saint and was a king regnant and he built the church the the current one replaced. Ann of Cleves did ok.
Wearing hats indoors anywhere is a tad rude
All men would be expected to remove their hat in a church, just as a mark of respect.
Wearing a hat indoors is considered rude anywhere let alone a church. (
you gotta be a bit of a weirdo if you consider that rude tbh
In my catholic upbringing....in church women HAD to cover their heads be it a scarf or hat....so there!

Richard, the Lionheart was French
He was born in England. His father was Henry II and he himself was King Of England. He was English.
