( Worth Seeing )
Not to be confused with the more illustrious abbey of the same name, Westminster Cathedral is London's principal Roman Catholic church. Its foundation is relatively modern, being built between 1896 and 1903. The slim, handsome Byzantine campanile (accessible by lift) is one of the capital's lesser-known landmarks, towering some 83m high and offering great views over central London. The cathedral interior is famous for some of the finest and most varied marble-work in the country, though it has never been completed (owing to lack of funds) and much of the huge nave ceiling still shows bare brickwork.
