Not to be confused with Westminster Abbey, Westminster Cathedral is the mother church of the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales. The Metropolitan Cathedral of the St. George is the seat of the Archbishop of Southwark, which the London boroughs south of the Thames, the Medway and Kent. St. Paul’s is the seat of the Bishop of London and is the mother church of the Anglican Diocese of London. It is the seat of the Diocese of Southwark of the Church of England, which serves South London and Surrey.

If you want to experience a neighbourhood feel, come to Oak Cliff. An independent district thus far, Oak Cliff voted for the annexation to Dallas in 1903 due to the area’s depressed economy.

There is a cluster of brightly painted storefronts on the Texas Theater end of the boulevard that I find particularly attractive.

Built on the highest point of Castle Rock, St. Margaret’s Chapel dominates Edinburgh Castle and the city below. This small unassuming Chapel, with an internal width of 3 metres and a 4.8-metre-long nave, is Edinburgh’s oldest building. It is a simple rectangular stone construction, with an entrance door near the back of the nave, and a round chancel arch decorated with chevron mouldings. When the Earl of Moray captured Edinburgh Castle from the English in 1314, King Robert the Bruce had it demolished to prevent it falling onto English hands again.
