St Paul's is amazing. If you can physically do it, please make the climb to the top level. 528 steps. I'm 79 and I did it. The history inside the Cathedral is overwhelming. I spent 4 hours on my self guided tour. Also attended the 12:30 service and communion.

An absolute must-see when in London. The sheer scale of Sir Christopher Wren's architecture hits you the moment you walk onto the main floor. The nave is breathtaking, but the real highlight for me was the climb up the dome. Be prepared for a workout—it’s over 500 steps up to the Golden Gallery—but the panoramic views of the London skyline from the top are completely worth the effort. The Crypt is also fascinating and beautifully maintained. Highly recommend booking tickets in advance to save time. A truly spectacular piece of history.

It's a wonderful place to take it all in at your own pace and enjoy the view while sitting down. You should definitely climb up to the galleries. The higher you go, the better the view. It's worth checking out every gallery.

We arrived just in time for the service and were treated to an unforgettable experience. The cathedral is an incredible place where you can easily spend several hours. The view from the tower is wonderful.

An exploration of Britain's past

St. Paul's Cathedral is the mother church of the Diocese of London. The monument has survived the Great Fire of London and the Blitz during World War 2. Having undergone many repairs and reconstructions, it still stands tall. Its ethereal interiors, beautiful architecture, and significance in British history ensure that it's a huge part of every Londoner's heart, making it a must-see for everyone who visits.

The awe-inspiring architecture

Designed by Sir Christopher Wren, St. Paul's Cathedral features impressive Baroque-style architecture with majestic ceilings. Its world-famous dome, the 2nd largest dome in the world, is an iconic feature of the London skyline. Enjoy the Cathedral's awe-inspiring interior, and uncover fascinating stories about its history. Then visit the famous Whispering Gallery with its unique acoustics. Continue to the Stone Gallery, then the Golden Gallery atop the dome for a photo opportunity of the breathtaking panoramic views across London. Visit the crypt which is the resting place for famous Britons such as Lord Admiral Nelson, the Duke of Wellington, and Sir Christopher Wren. Once you're done exploring the cathedral, you can choose to upgrade your tickets for a digital guidebook or explore London with insights from a London city audio guide.
