Westminster Cathedral is the largest Catholic church in the UK and the seat of the Archbishop of Westminster.

The site on which the cathedral stands in the City of Westminster was purchased by the Diocese of Westminster in 1885, and construction completed in 1903.

Designed by John Francis Bentley in neo-Byzantine style, and accordingly made almost entirely of brick, but with 3 large unreinforced concrete domes 30m above the nave floor.
