This is the Catholic cathedral close to Victoria - not to be confused with Westminster Abbey near the Houses of Parliament. It's an odd building - as if it's not sure what it is trying to be. That said, the mosaics and beautifully decorated interior makes for a weird, Byzantine experience. Undoubtedly it's beautiful and almost out of keeping with its location. Definitely worth seeing!
A Catholic Cathedral. Quite a huge one in the city centre in walking distance away from Victoria train station and tube station.nnBecause it is so huge, when there is no mass or service, you can easily find a quiet corner or chapel for private prayer, despite the fact that there are always a lot of visitors.nnThere is one shop inside the church for religious book and things. There is a much bigger shop on the right hand side of the main entrance outside the Cathedral. It’s St Paul’s Catholic Bookstore.
A stunning catholic cathedral near Victoria station. Its interior is dark and brooding as you look up to the ceiling, but there is a sense of peace. Eucharist was just beginning to be celebrated and it was held in Latin which was a surprise but lovely to hear. There is a choir who sing services and the program of sung services is available on line. It is free to enter and well worth visiting.
Westminster Cathedral is impressive and yet it’s often overlooked by visitors. This is the largest Roman Catholic Cathedral in the U.K. The cloisters are beautiful and mass is held daily, or if short on time, light a candle. Several chapels are dedicated to angels and saints.nnWalk up the stairs or take a lift to the Viewing Gallery for breathtaking views of London.nnThe cathedral is very accessible and it’s free to enter. And the cathedral is just a short walk from Victoria Rail and Underground stations. A
I love this church with all my heart. When I can, I try to make evening mass during the week or Saturday vigil mass. The choir’s singing is indescribable.nnMy experience with the priests during confession has always been great. Their attentiveness and advice have helped me through the months that I’ve been here. They are truly good shepherds and we must pray for them.nnI have not had any issues with other Catholics. Everyone seems to be focused on the sole purpose of being there. Can’t speak for everyone but I hope that is the case.nnThe folks who work at the church, the security and others are always respectful and at times can be very direct but they are doing their job and I’m sure many are thankful for it.nnMore can be said but go and experience it for yourself. The serene and spacious atmosphere and all the different chapels are there for all. It is good to see many Catholics filling this massive church. Hopefully, one day the laity spill out the church for a service.nnP.S. I’d like to add that, I’ve often noticed people walking around the Cathedral as a museum. As a Catholic, I’m all for it as long as there are no disturbances which I’ve never experienced. I notice they try to be as respectful as possible. All are welcome to experience this Cathedral. It is not exclusive to Catholics.
