Why it's Wildland

5.2

A Roman Catholic cathedral in Southwark, described in the supplied source as a 19th-century building in the Gothic style.

This is an urban heritage visit rather than a wild landscape: its strongest Wildland appeal is the combination of Gothic architecture, active worship and the National Shrine of St Oscar Romero. The supplied evidence supports a focused cathedral visit, but not a broader day itinerary.
