Saint Peter's Cathedral Basilica, London (must see)
The origins of the foundation of Saint Peter鈥檚 Cathedral Basilica date back to 1834 when the parish was established here; it was known as Saint Lawrence. The old church burned down along with numerous other buildings in the London fire of 1845. In 1880 the city gained a fine example of a French Gothic Revival church designed by John Connolly. It has an ornate twin-tower fa莽ade and a richly decorated interior. In 1961 this Roman Catholic Church received the status of Basilica from Pope John XXII. Today Saint Peter鈥檚 Church is the seat of the Diocese of London.
