It is very lovely. I got lots of pictures and even a panorama of London from the campanile.

One of the early Archbishops of Canterbury was Greek. The Eastern character of the British Churches was suppressed after the split in 1054 and latinized.

The St. Louis Cathedral Basilica also has a striking resembles to the Westminister Cathedral in many ways. Nothing Gothic in it.

The St. Louis Basilica is one of the few Trindentine churches still in existence.

All the art and holy icons are in the Byzantine style mosaic.

Compare that to this post-Vatican II pagan temple.
