Time Out says

Not to be confused with the far older Westminster Abbey down the road, Westminster Cathedral is the fabulous, neo-Byzantine home of Catholicism in London. As well as several services a day for observant types, it hosts regular concerts and recitals and its 210-foot tower (complete with viewing gallery) is open to visitors.

Luminiscence: Westminster Cathedral

With its 210-foot tower, and walls adorned with over a hundred varieties of marble, Westminster Cathedral is already a sight to behold, but it’ll be looking more spectacular than ever this July, when this visual show wuill shed new light on the iconic building, quite literally. Known for hosting dazzling immersive experiences at World Heritage sites across the globe, Luminiscence will take over the neo-byzantine cathedral this summer, with an visual experience journeying through the history of the Big Smoke, told using light projections mapped onto its grand interiors, plus a voiceover by Hugh Bonneville, and classical hits from the likes of Beethoven, Vivaldi and Bach, performed live by the Lux Aeterna choir. It promises to be a truly special opportunity to familiarise yourself with one of London’s most iconic landmarks.
