Visit St Paul's Cathedral

The formidable funerals of Lord Nelson, the Duke of Wellington and Sir Winston Churchill were conducted inside these fortress-like walls, as was the elaborate fairy-tale wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer. Sombre services marking the end of the First and Second World Wars, and joyous celebrations marking Queen Victoria and King George V’s Jubilees, have also filled its echoing galleries.

St Paul’s truly is the spiritual home of Great Britain, a fascinating store of British history and an architectural triumph all in one. The great dome dominates much of the city and forms the centrepiece of the reconstruction of London after the Great Fire of 1666.

Built by Sir Christopher Wren after the fire, the cathedral miraculously survived the Blitz in World War Two when most of the surrounding area was flattened by German bombing raids. It consequently served to act as an inspirational symbol of British strength in the nation's darkest hour.

Soak up the history embedded in its cloisters while you breathe in the outstanding architecture and elaborate decoration. Work your way up from the medieval relics in the crypt to the gorgeous Victorian mosaics scattered around the entrance and the dome. Absorb the mystical ambience of the three curving galleries before admiring the dome itself – one the largest in the world – with its stunning view over London and spectacular ball and lantern crown.



Did You Know?

During the construction of the dome and galleries, architect Wren was wrenched up and down in a basket at least once a week to inspect the work in progress. By the time work was completed in 1708, Wren was 78 and watched on as his son placed the last stone in position.

Ticket includes:

- admission to the crypt, three galleries (including the famous Whispering Gallery) and the dome
- spectacular views of London from the dome vantage point
