St. Paul's Cathedral

Visiting St Paul’s Cathedral was one of the highlights of my trip to London. The building is absolutely stunning both inside and out, and the scale of the dome is even more impressive in person. Climbing up to the Whispering Gallery and then higher to the Stone and Golden Galleries is definitely worth the effort. The views over London are fantastic, but be prepared for a lot of steps. Comfortable shoes help! Inside the cathedral there’s a lot of history, including memorials and the crypt where famous figures are buried. Even if you’re not particularly into architecture or religion, it’s still a fascinating place to explore. A few tips if you’re planning to visit: • Book tickets online if you can — it saves time. • Go earlier in the day as it gets busy. • Photography inside is limited in some areas. • Allow at least 1–2 hours if you want to climb the dome. It’s not the cheapest attraction in London, but the experience and views make it worthwhile. A must-see if you’re visiting the city. ⛪✨

St Paul's Cathedral is one of London’s most iconic landmarks and a masterpiece of English Baroque architecture. Designed by Sir Christopher Wren and completed in 1710, the cathedral was built after the Great Fire of London destroyed the previous medieval church. Its magnificent dome—one of the largest in the world—dominates the London skyline. Visitors can explore the famous Whispering Gallery, where even the quietest sounds travel along the curved walls, and climb to the Golden Gallery for panoramic views over the city. Inside, the cathedral features beautiful mosaics, impressive sculptures, and the crypt, where notable figures such as Admiral Lord Nelson and Duke of Wellington are buried. St Paul’s has hosted many historic events, including the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer in 1981.

I’ve visited this iconic cathedral a few times, once during a regular tour and others to attend mass. While I paid the entrance fee once to climb the dome, attending a service allowed me to hear their incredible choir for free. The architecture is breathtaking, and the spiritual atmosphere during the choir performance is truly moving. If you go for free, you can't access the upper galleries, but the view of the interior and the altar is still 100% worth it. It is a must-visit in London for its history; just remember to check the schedules if you want to experience the music.

Visiting St. Paul’s Cathedral was absolutely worth it. The cathedral itself is stunning, but going all the way to the top was the highlight. The climb is long (lots of steps), but the views over London are incredible and give you a real sense of perspective. Cost: Adult tickets are around £25 (kids and concessions are less), and the price includes access to the cathedral, crypt, Whispering Gallery, and the dome. For how much you get to see, it’s worth the cost. Best time to go: • Early morning is best if you want fewer crowds • Weekdays are much quieter than weekends • Avoid mid-day if you don’t like lines, especially during tourist season Good to know: • Wear comfortable shoes the steps are no joke • Take your time going up and down • It’s peaceful at the top despite being in the middle of the city Overall, it’s one of those London experiences that feels meaningful, not rushed, and leaves a lasting impression. I’m really glad I made the climb.
