Go to the top of Westminster Cathedral tower

In Victoria, just a few minutes walk from Westminster Abbey, is Westminster Cathedral, the largest Roman Catholic church in England and the seat of the Catholic Archbishop of Westminster, Cormac Cardinal Murphy-O'Connor.


Keeping watch over the Neo-Byzantine Cathedral is a 273 ft tower, which is dedicated to St Edward the Confessor. From a four-sided viewing gallery at the top there are views out across Central London, and you can access them by a lift which is open daily from 9.30am to 12.30pm and 1pm to 5pm April to November and 9am to 5pm December to March.
