Visited in Dec 11. Went here just for the sunset. Go into the gift shop and ask to go up the tower. It's GBP5 pp. When we went we were the only two people there! Great view of London at sunset. More

Amazing , peaceful and calm atmosphere... A place , free of charge where you can "recharge" yourself.. Easy to get there, by tube, on Victoria's street , i advise starting from there all along this street, walking and ending on Parliament's House, the other side of the street. If Abby (Westminster ) was crowded, here (the Cathedral) was great to... More

Not emphasized in the guidebooks and we found it by accident as we were walking down Victoria Street. Not as popular as the Abbey but there is so much to see. Its a beautiful historic building. Make sure you stop here. More

The Cathedral is fine. It had a wonderful setting, between some modern buildings on Victoria Street which enhanced the wonderful surprise of this piece of Victorian Gothic. I'm not sure what will happen as Victoria Street is being redeveloped. A nice place to go to talk to (a/any) God. More
