The floor plan of Westminster Abbey is in the shape of a crucifix, with the nave forming the long central arm and the transepts forming the cross-arms. The nave is divided into three sections and is flanked by a north aisle and a south aisle. The choir, which is located in the eastern part of the building, is surrounded by an ambulatory and chapels. The ambulatory leads to the apse at the east end of the building, which contains the high altar. The north transept houses the famous Poet's Corner, while the south transept contains the Royal Chapel and the Chapter House. The overall floor plan of Westminster Abbey reflects the development of English Gothic architecture, with its emphasis on a cruciform shape, arcades, ribbed vaults, and pointed arches.
