The Chapter House, which is attached to Westminster Abbey, which is also free to English Heritage members. It was built in the 13th century and used by Benedictine monks for their daily meetings.
The stained glass windows were blown out during WWII and have been replaced but while they were cleaning, they found medieval paintings.
It is also free to go into the Pyx Chamber, which holds a 13th century altar and was used to store monastic and royal treasury.
If you are going to Westminster Abbey, you will be able to view these rooms as well. If not, go through the Dean's Yard.
