Visitation here is the Cathedral was very well organised for Confessions. No long queues, it was super quick. The Crib was situated as you entered the main front door. It was much better here than it's usual location down the far end of the Cathedral. It was well managed with social distancing throughout & no long queues which was great and a huge improvement to the normal Christmas long queues. Everyone could go in & pray in a very safe environment. Well done to all involved.

A beautiful cathedral. It costs over 2.6 million per year to cover expenses. Please come and say a prayer, light a candle and support this stunning building.
A wonderful sense of calm within a stunning Byzantine style basilica.
What a wonderful surprise of Westminster Cathedral. This neo-Byzantine architecture catholic church is one of my favorites. Although the mosaics work hasn’t been completed yet, it’s still very impressive. In fact, the black brick walls and ceilings make it more dramatic. They have been working on the mosaics since then, piece-by-piece but I can’t imagine when the whole walls and ceilings will be completed any time soon. The sun shines through the back windows adds a lot of characters to it also. It was a special thing for us to attend a mass conducted in Latin.
There are two very similar sounding heavyweight cathedrals in one vicinity but other than their common first names, they have nothing in common. The one in question Westminster cathedral is made only of bricks and surrounded by modern glass buildings. It's pale colour scheme doesn't help it stand out and it's unusual design doesn't let it blend in with anything either. It is very strange looking and despite its huge size, it's not imposing or serious like gothic architecture. It's almost like that it was designed for children because it can easily be in any Disneyland and no one will ask any question. I mean they gave it white stripy dress but also a very dull colour. Might as well paint it bright and avoid all confusion. However its interior is where it gets serious. It's not only huge but really beautiful too with multiple chapels within. Inside you'll find all bells and whistles that you expect in a grand church of this size.
