This Early Byzantine-styled Catholic Cathedral, designed by Victorian architect John Francis Bentley and completed in 1903, is set off the main road across a small piazza. A fine marble interior and many beautiful mosaics in a resplendent fusion of blue hues top the impressive high altar, behind which the choir sits. The dramatically suspended, huge painted crucifix is well worth visiting. As are the silver encased relics of St John Southworth, an unfortunate medieval priest hung for being for his priesthood. Sung High Mass is a majestic experience with incense and a whole legion of altar servers. The Bell Tower, at 273ft high, is an excellent vantage point from which to view London and for only £2, you can take a lift to the top of it everyday from 9am to 5pm.
