Love this church... Beautiful and lots of history on the walls and ceilings... U will never get tired of visiting this church and they have a clean set of toilets on the right side. The shop is great too. The information lady was extremely helpful when I asked about the location of envelopes for the souls I wanted to be included in their prayers. You can also use a container and get holy water on the right side once you enter. The music and choir is something else and the smell of incense just gets you so emotional.
Beautiful! The fact that it isn't fully finished inside adds to the charm in my opinion.
I was told that they need £55 million to be able to finish the ceilings with gold mosaic, but I think it'd be much better if they left it as it is and donated the money to charity 😊

I took a look around whilst in London for the day on a sculpture trail.
This cathedral is architecturally stunning outside, but oh my inside is really beyond words.
Do have a look if you get the opportunity, you won't be disappointed.
If whilst visiting, you want to take time to reflect, pray, or join a service you are welcomed with open arms.

Great place to stop by and don't forget to go up the tower, it's only £6. No need to walk up stairs, there's a lift that takes you up to view the city. There's also a huge gift shop on the right side of the church (not the one inside), a must if your looking for religious mementos
It’s a very beautiful cathedral. There is so much information inside about cathedral and various statues. Worth a visit. Also we found free parking on the street outside cathedral. It’s free only on weekends.
It was like I stepped inside the exquisitely adorned Roman Catholic cathedral, built in the late 19th century. Instantly, a serene tranquility washes over you despite the presence of others. The interior is a haven for contemplation, a refuge from the bustling Victoria Street. Marvel at the Chapel of the blessed sacrament, the Lady chapel, and the Chapel of the Holy Souls, each radiating beauty and holiness.
Beautifully decorated interior, on entering there is a feeling of calm, stillness and serenity even though there are other people around. A place you can easily get lost in your thoughts, such peacefulness, from the outside hustle and bustle of Victoria Street.
