This place is situated right in the heart of westminster and is truly a wonderful sight to see. The building is so beautiful and very interesting from both inside and out side. The mosaics which are inside the building are very beautiful and well worth seeing. The fact that so many important events have been held here only adds to the attraction of visiting the cathedral. We looked around for ages and would certainly go and see it again some time. It is very easy to get to, london transport will help you out there. You should go and visit this unique part of englands heritage. Perhaps not suitable for children if they are easily bored, more of an adult day out or catch one of the grand organ recitals which are on a sunday.

Amazing Modern Building 10th September 2008

0 found this helpful

This is the most amazing church.It is the main Catholic Church in London. It is not a traditional looking building being just over 100 years old and built of brick on the outside.
Inside it is remarkable, built using traditional techniques. There is lots of mosaics over large areas, used to fantastic effect.
There is a wide range of marble used - over 100 different types from a variety of countries. The differences in colour is quite spectacular.
There are side chapels decorated in different styles and there is a depiction of the twelve stations of the cross which is moving - the traditional pictures of christs journey to the cross.
It is free to visit, but you can make a donation to the upkeep of the church.
