More information on Westminster Cathedral

This Early Byzantine-styled Catholic Cathedral, designed by Victorian architect John Francis Bentley and completed in 1903, is set off the main road across a small piazza. A fine marble interior and many beautiful mosaics in a resplendent fusion of blue hues top the impressive high altar, behind which the choir sits. The dramatically suspended, huge painted crucifix is well worth visiting. Sung High Mass is a majestic experience with incense and a whole legion of altar servers. The Bell Tower, at 273ft high, is an excellent vantage point from which to view London and you can also take a lift to the top of it everyday.
