WESTMINSTER ABBEY, GREATER LONDON. The canopied entrance to the annexe built outside the west entrance of Westminster Abbey for the coronation of Elizabeth II, featuring the Royal Arms and with crowds queuing to enter, viewed from the north-west.
The coronation of Elizabeth II took place on 2nd June 1953. A glass-fronted annexe, designed by Eric Bedford, was built outside the west entrance of Westminster Abbey. It was to be used as a space to organise the processions before the coronation service, and was colloquially known as the " arrival and robing suite". The photographers caption on the reverse of this photograph explains that the annexe was kept open for four months following the coronation ceremony to allow the public to visit
