The Westminster Jubilee Way

Phil McCarthy • April 7, 2025

To celebrate the Jubilee Year, the Archdiocese of Westminster invites you to travel in the steps of the martyrs and saints, who are ‘Beacons of Hope’ along a new pilgrim way.


The Westminster Way explores saints as martyrs, missionaries, servants, scholars and prophets. Along each stage of the journey, pilgrims will go deeper into the meaning of each through the saints who embody them.


The route visits the following destinations:

  1. English Martyrs, Tower Hill 
  2. St Mary Moorfields
  3. Charterhouse Monastery
  4. St Etheldreda’s, Ely Place
  5. Corpus Christi, Maiden Lane
  6. Westminster Cathedral


There are opportunities to discover more about the areas around these places in the leader’s guide. This pilgrimage is designed so that it can be conducted around any 5-stage journey, making it accessible to those who might not be able to walk the full route.


More details including a pilgrim passport and a leaders' guide can be found here


The Archdiocese of Westminster also has the Hearts in Search of God pilgrim way, the Way of Two Cathedrals and Four Shrines, which starts at Westminster Cathedral and ends at the National Shrine to Our Lady of Willesden. For more details click here.
