Visit this London landmark, designed by Sir Christopher Wren, and experience the soaring architecture and breathtaking atmosphere. Explore the Whispering Gallery, check out the underground Crypt, and head up to the Golden Gallery, 111 meters above London for some amazing views!
There's plenty to fascinate everyone at St Paul's. The World War One Altar Frontal was embroidered by WWI veterans as part of their recovery. The Whispering Gallery is accessed after a 257 step climb from the Cathedral floor and runs around the interior of the Dome. It gets its name from a charming quirk in its construction, which makes a whisper against its walls audible on the opposite side.The crypt holds the tombs of Lord Horatio Nelson, the 1st Duke of Wellington and Sir Christopher Wren himself.
Through all the builds and rebuilds, there's been a religious building on this spot for over 1,400 years (!) After the Great Fire of London in 1666, Sir Christopher Wren was tasked with creating something truly iconic to span the ages. His peerless creation has stood watch over the city ever since its completion in 1710.
Wheelchair accessible: The North Transept offers a step-free entrance. Within the Cathedral, the Cathedral Floor and Crypt below it are fully accessible, and a lift provides access between the two levels. The Dome Galleries can unavoidably only be reached by stairs.
Combine St Paul’s Cathedral with other London favorites. Some things are better together.
