St Paul's Cathedral Tickets

What to expect?

St Paul’s Cathedral is a classic Baroque architectural marvel designed by Sir Christopher Wren after the last temple was destroyed during the Great Fire of London in 1666.

Try the singular acoustics of the Whispering Gallery, climb up to the Golden Gallery (85 meters high) and enjoy stunning views over London or visit the Stone Gallery that encircles the outside part of the dome.

Afterwards, walk down to the crypt where numerous British heroes are buried such as Lord Nelson, Winston Churchill and Alexander Fleming. The crypt also features an interesting exhibition called “Oculus: an eye into St Paul’s”, a short film with interesting information about the history of the Cathedral since the first church was built in honour of St Paul in 604.
