Although I am not a historian, it is my understanding that the Kings and Queens of England, and for that matter most European countries, are crowned on the head.
They tried to crown them on the knee for a while, but the crowns kept slipping off and making a heck of a noise on that parquet floor in the palace.

Why, on their heads, of course.
But seriously:
"Westminster Abbey is the most famous church in Great Britain The kings and queens of England are crowned there, and many rulers and famous men of Britain are buried there. The church is built in the shape of a cross, in the style of architecture called Gothic. There are a number of chapels in Westminster Abbey, of which the most notable is the Chapel of Henry VII. There are nearly 100 statuettes in the Chapel of Henry VII, and in it are buried Mary Queen of Scots, William and Mary, Queen Elizabeth 1, and other kings, queens, and members of the royal family. The Poet's Corner contains the tombs of Chaucer, Spenser, Browning, Tennyson, and many other famous writers and poets. The first church on the site of Westminster Abbey was built in 616, but the present building was begun over seven hundred years ago. Further building was done over several hundred years. The building of two of the Abbey's towers was begun in 1732. "

The coronation takes place in westminster abbey. The chair they sit on is 700 years old. It was made for King Charles I. It used to contain the stone of scone but that has been returned to Scotland. Hope this helps
