Four suggestions for worship on Christmas Eve – all in the heart of the City of Westminster…
Westminster Cathedral
42 Francis Street' London SW1
A most dramatic space with some dazzling mosaic work, Westminster Roman Catholic Cathedral was designed by John Francis Bentley and built between 1895 and 1903.

Corpus Christi
1-5 Maiden Lane, Covent Garden WC2
After an extensive restoration project, Corpus Christi can lay claim to being the most beautiful interior of any church in the West End. The Stations of the Cross were designed by Arthur Fleischmann whose work can be seen at the National Portrait Gallery. He is the only artist to have sculpted four popes from life.
The church also features the largest statue of St Patrick in England.
