Westminster Cathedral
Overview
Westminster Cathedral is a fascinating example of Victorian architecture. Designed in the Early Christian Byzantine style by John Francis Bentley, its strongly oriental appearance makes it very distinctive. The foundation stone was laid in 1895 but the interior decorations are not fully completed. The Campanile Bell Tower is 273 feet high and has a four-sided viewing gallery with magnificent views over London. The lift is open daily 9-5.
