The Blessed Sacrament Chapel in the Westminster Cathedral, City of Westminster, London, England. This cathedral is the mother church of the Catholic Church in England and Wales. It is the largest Catholic church in the UK and the seat of the Archbishop of Westminster. The site on which the cathedral stands was purchased by the Diocese of Westminster in 1885, and construction was completed in 1903. The cathedral was designed by John Francis Bentley in a neo-Byzantine style, made almost entirely of brick, without steel reinforcements. Sir John Betjeman called it "a masterpiece in striped brick and stone" that shows "the good craftsman has no need of steel or concrete."
