St George's flag
The flag of St George (purchased, I must confess, for the last World Cup) flies proudly from the Cathedral.

A Blog from Westminster Cathedral
Welcome to Westminster Cathedral, London
Westminster Cathedral is the mother church of the Roman Catholic community in England and Wales. This extraordinary house of God was opened in 1903, and its distinctive Byzantine architecture provides the visitor with what Sir John Betjeman called "a series of surprises".

When zooming in on this picture to study all the nooks and crannies, I wondered if some of the architecture / decoration masks functional parts of the building--downspouts, chimneys, vents, etc...?
You're quite right - the turrets all house staircases and a certain amount of the services. However, the downspouts are all visible - mostly at the side of the Cathedral - proud Victoiran engineering at its best!
