St. Paul's Cathedral in City of London, Westminster

St. Paul's Cathedral in London is a place where history, architecture, and spiritual power come together. Its magnificent dome is visible from afar, and the moment you step inside, you're struck by its grandeur: towering ceilings, stained glass windows, intricate stone carvings, and a deep sense of awe. It’s not just a church — it's a symbol of resilience and hope, especially after surviving the bombings of World War II. Climbing up to the dome is an adventure in itself. After hundreds of steps, you reach a panoramic viewing platform with breathtaking views over London. Here, everyone can find something: peace, inspiration, or sheer admiration for the beauty of human craftsmanship.

Worth the visit! If you take a baby - make sure you have a sling - it's a long climb without one!

Beautiful view from the inside and top balconies. Interesting history, if you're already paying to get in, it's highly recommend to join the guidance.

It's very beautiful, it's no coincidence that it's so popular.

A place to recommend A magnificent visit

Unmissable historical places. Especially to admire its immense, unique dome. It is possible to climb to the top. It's 550 markets but it's not that difficult. You can admire London there.

A must see experience while you are in London. A breathtaking cathedral where you can also view the Crips under the ground floor as well as climb to the top of the tower for beautiful skyline views. Tickets are a little pricey for what it is, but I still recommend overall.

Must must must visit. If I have to choose one place to visit in London, it will be St Paul's Cathedral

Fascinating place, great views if you can make it to the top.

The dome cannot be ignored as seen from the street or from one of the increasing number of high rise viewpoints. Clearly standing out is the Iconic structure that endured the devastation during WWII.

What an amazing venue. If you get the chance it's a must.

The exterior of St. Paul's is absolutely breathtaking, with incredible architecture that stands out against the London skyline. Walking across the Millennium Bridge gives you a perfect view of the cathedral—it's a great spot for photos and a peaceful stroll.

Very beautiful cathedral. Already pretty from the outside. The price may seem a little high, but you get an audio guide in your own language for each person inside. The interior is superb, with magnificent details. Everything is spacious! The galleries upstairs are definitely worth a visit: a bit challenging perhaps, but it's rewarding. Whispering Gallery 275 steps, Stone Gallery 376 steps, and Golden Gallery 528 steps. In the end, the view is definitely worth it. There are plenty of staff if you need information. In the crypts downstairs, you have a little corner to enjoy a Carrot Cake or a Lemon Drizzle Cake, for example (very good). A must-do!!!

Magnificent London Cathedral, the second largest in the world and of exceptional spectacularity, impressive views from the dome and an impressive interior.

A very beautiful and imposing cathedral. Don't miss it on your visit to London

Breath taking religious experience

In November 2022 I climbed the dome at St Paul's Cathedral. It was a once in a lifetime thing. St Paul's Cathedral is so beautiful inside. I walk past and see this building so much it is like my home.

We looked at it from the outside and the line was very long. Beautiful building. It's hugely beautiful.

Visit with the London Pass GoCity, 360° view at the top of the bell tower of the dome👍 from the crypt to the dome to see to do👌

Very beautiful cathedral to visit

Can't rating such a place, very beautiful and one of the london talest building

Yes, great building, the entrance fees are just too high for me. What if I just wanted to pray?

We only walked round the outside as the queue was long so can't comment on inside

Lovely area, went on a weekend and was quite busy as expected one a sunny day

Super cathedral, with headphones and languages ​​for explanations of the cathedral, you climb to the top of the dome with many steps just by taking the ticket for the visit, also the very beautiful and interesting crypt with the explanation of the tombs of greats in history

Beautiful cathedral, if you want to visit it in lite mode I recommend going after 4.30pm to avoid paying the £26 entrance fee.

I was at the Sunday service, which was very beautiful and atmospheric with the choir. I didn't do a viewing. In my opinion, with an entrance fee of €26, it would only be worth it if you also climb the many steps into the dome. I'll go there again for an Even Song. That should be better than in Westminster Abbey, where around 1,000 people were in the side aisles and could only watch the Even Song via screen. Here the worship participants sit in the main nave.

One of the most beautiful things I have seen in my life. Paying £10 for this is worth it

Visited April 2025. What superlatives fully describe St. Paul's. It is an amazing piece of architecture and history. If you visit London then this cathedral must be visited.

We saw it from the outside and it was very pretty!

Very beautiful, but a little expensive

It's really aesthetically beautiful, it's a shame that the entrance ticket is a bit expensive so we didn't go in

Beautiful from the Millenium Bridge

Fantastic experience, a truly stunning experience. The walk to the top isn't the easiest for everyone, but absolutely worth it for the views

So much history contained within the walls of the cathedral. We spent a good 4 hours taking it all in. The climb up the dome was well worth the views at the top. Expensive entry fee but I felt you got your money's worth once you were inside.

Is unreal to ask a Catholic to pay 30 $ to enter in Church , shame shame shame

It was closed by 7 pm for pictures. Come during sunset time. But for entering you'll need to visit in the morning with tickets of 29,EP

Place to discover especially the heights. Refrain if afraid of heights. The entrance fee is a bit steep!

Architectural monument , mesmerizing. Beware before you decide to climb up stairs to galleries. One way stairs, if you have BP/Heart problem , don't go up. However 360 degree view approximately 330 feet above the ground is amazing....

What can I say about St Paul's Cathedral that hasn't been said before! Can be viewed on the north and south side of the Thames. Stunning in any direction. Up front you can sit in the gardens, ponder the meaning of life, rest tired legs, eat your packed lunch.

Impressive inside and out. Beautiful views on the different levels. London is also clearly visible from the Stone Galary at a height of 53 m.

Beautiful is beautiful...but personally it's out of my top five in London.

absolutely stunning both inside and outside.

One of the most beautiful buildings in central London

The lady at the entrance is a bit strict.

I didn't realize you can go to the top of the dome and go outside for views far superior to the London Eye. It's a bit of a trek but worth it. The employees seem to get more rude the higher up you go for some reason. Lol Anyway, I only planned to stay for two hours. I'd recommend at least three, possibly 4 if you want to thoroughly explore with the audio tour, climb to the top, and go into the crypt.

This is the best looking church in London. I think some of the workers there forget they work in a church and are just outright grumpy. You can take photos from the ground floor but not on the next level or you will be yelled at. I'm so confused as there is a barrier to avoid dropping your phone.

If you like churches it's fine. The guide is in Spanish, you don't have to pay extra. The cathedral is very beautiful and spectacular

Just an amazing site full of history. Don’t miss the climb to the upper galleries. Go right when they open for most enjoyment. Plan to spend two hours here. Expensive entry fee compared to other London attractions. Don’t miss the walk over the millennium bridge afterwards

I want to all good only catholic church in world to sigaret Managing catholic time only free. Quickly

An amazing display of architecture with beautiful artworks and views of the city

Deserves to be visited at least once in a lifetime.

I stand in front of her and am speechless at first. St. Paul’s Cathedral, with its iconic dome, rises like a crown over the London skyline. No matter how many times I've seen pictures, it's something different live. The white Portland stone glistens in the sun and I have to step back for a moment to take in the full extent. As soon as I entered, I was surrounded by an almost holy silence, despite the visitors. The first reaction? The gaze automatically moves upwards. That huge dome! Over 110 meters high. I learn that it is the second largest in the world, just after St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. And that Sir Christopher Wren designed it after the Great Fire of London in 1666. His masterpiece, after over 50 years of construction. So the cathedral as I see it now is actually a symbol of the resurgence of London, the phoenix from the ashes. Ironically, she later became almost a symbolic figure again during the Blitz in World War II. A famous photograph shows it miraculously intact while rubble lies all around. Londoners saw them as a sign of perseverance. I get goosebumps. I walk through the central nave, past the ornate high altar, and hear the faint sound of an organ. The thing has more than 7,000 pipes! It's not a show, someone is just rehearsing. The sound fills the entire nave and gets under your skin. Then I dare to climb to the Whispering Gallery - 257 steps up. In the gallery I whisper against the wall... and someone on the other side hears it. Not a myth, it really works! Acoustic magic in a cathedral, who would have thought? A few steps further, another 119, and I reach the Stone Gallery. And because I'm already inside - another 152 steps to the Golden Gallery, right at the top. My circulation is screaming, but the view over London makes up for it all. I see the Thames, the London Eye, the Shard and, just below me, these perfectly symmetrical streets around the cathedral. Below, in the crypt, I come across the graves of famous people such as Sir Christopher Wren himself lies here, and on his gravestone it says: "Lector, si monumentum requiris, circumspice" - "Reader, if you are looking for a monument, look around." Wow. Also Lord Nelson and the Duke of Wellington. Suddenly I am no longer just a visitor, but a witness to history. In the end I just sit there on one of the benches. I look up at the dome again and think: This cathedral is not just a church building. It is a monument to hope, perseverance and the art of creating something sublime from destruction. As of: April 20, 2025 "Hope is the first quiet spark in the darkness of the heart from which love is ignited. A force so bright that it drives away even the shadows. But it is precisely in its light that the shadow of betrayal also thrives, because only those who love can be deeply hurt. Compassion arises from this wound. It is the silent understanding of the pain that is not your own, but which you still feel as if it were. And forgiveness is not forgetting, not an acquittal, but rather Act of inner greatness in which one rises above the scars, not for the sake of the other, but for the sake of one's own peace. Only those who forgive clear the way for new hope - and so the circle closes.

St Paul’s was lovely. There is a free audio tour with headphones and a digital screen with videos to watch as you go through the cathedral included with ticket price. This was very helpful!! There were Lots of places to sit down and enjoy looking around. It was a beautiful cathedral with amazing art in the dome and good bus links. You Can do the highlights tour on the audio guide in 30-40 minutes if in a rush, or a more detailed one if you would prefer. There was a cafe, toilets and shop on site. A nice trip.

Went for Easter service. Had a nice cafe and shop downstairs too.

Magnificent cathedral, the visit is worth the detour. One of the only monuments worth the price of admission in London. Very nice view once at the top.

Must have in London! Family friendly.

Celebrated a prayerful Easter service at St. Paul's Cathedral. The choir with the pipe organ was goosebumps worthy!

Beautiful, but it's a shame that the ticket is very expensive, so only seen from the outside

Beautiful Cathedral, amazing Day

A very solemn Catholic church in London. It has been used as a backdrop for many major events throughout history, including the wedding of King Charles III to Lady Diana Spencer and Winston Churchill's funeral.

Amazing. It's just a bit too high entry fee.

London=Diana=StPaul definitely must visit place worth it every single minute spent there. Also very kind helpful staff all around thanks for everything

The visit costs 68puonds for a family ticket. No reason at all to spend such money to visit a place of worship. We gave up.

The cathedral is one of the highest in the world, the views from the top are breathtaking. Be ready to walk as you must climb 528 steps to get there. It is just incredible to think it is mostly build of stone.

Views from the Millennium Bridge!

Magnificent monument. A must-have!

Truly beautiful def recommend.so tall and great . Outstanding.

Impressive beauty, what a beautiful monument, worth seeing

Very beautiful Lots of stairs but so worth it

BOOK TICKETS ONLINE, (my conclusion at the end) take a 🎧AUDIOGUIDE, no photo in the entrance area, in the cathedral very well, just NOT tolerated during the SERVICE, this takes place every hour, TAKE AT LEAST 2 hours! search, search the ENTIRE cathedral! + GALLERY 1 + 2 + 3 all the way to the top, i.e. to the golden gallery! EXIT through the CELLAR = CRYPT! There's still a tourist shop & 🚾 + CAFÉ, BUT THAT'S A NO-GO. Where there are dead people in the basement, I don't need English. Breakfast Tea & Scones, BUT....🤷🏻‍♂️___a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ enormously important PLACE in LONDON, impressed me more than the empty Royal Palace, Tower, or Covent Garden. But as we all know, tastes are dead ⚰️... er different. ____**** CHECK OUT MY OTHER REVIEWS ***** and 👉🏼 follow me 👈🏼___

Beautiful cathedral, worth the cost of the ticket, if you feel like climbing a few steps you can see London from above, the interior of the cathedral is beautiful.

One of the most impressive buildings in London! St. Paul's Cathedral is beautiful on the outside and even more impressive on the inside. The dome is huge and full of incredible architectural details. In addition to its beauty, it has a lot of history — it was the setting for important historical events, such as the wedding of Prince Charles and Princess Diana. It is well worth a visit, but it is worth noting that there is a charge for the inside and I recommend booking in advance.

The architecture inside and out is amazing. We attended one of the evening services as this gives you free admission but also does not give you time to walk around and explore the place. Very disappointed with the tourists walking out or playing games on their phones whilst the service was taking place, didn’t feel like a calm and relaxed service. I went to experience a service but felt this was nothing more than a tourist attraction and somewhere to up date your instagram profile picture. Rant over. Don’t let my experience put you off, if you want to go exploring this magnificent place then do it when a service is not on.

Amazing church service; great organization of the visitor flow.

Lovely history surrounding St. Paul's Cathedral

Cathedral itself is nice, but highly disorganized. I walked inside using a cane, and they made such a fuss about It almost branding me a terrorist. It was absolutely ridículous.

The most beautiful cathedral in London is worth seeing at least once. The view of the city from the stone gallery is amazing!

There is a lot to see in this church. My number one wonder was the intense paintings, drawings, and decorations of this church. Not an inch of wall or ceiling was spared. The church's size was just humongous. It's like several churches in one.

One of the coolest buildings to view in London. There’s a fee to enter. Get your steps in and check out all the iconic structures nearby

View from the statue of the lovers and crossing the Thames by the bridge to reach the TATE (Museum of Modern Art).

Well organised tour, the cathedral is beautiful. I’m just disappointed that there is such a high fee to enter the temple of God. They should be free.

Impressive ! It looks like the capitol. Little tips, don't hesitate to go inside to see a little of the interior without paying 30€

Be sure to take a look and go up!! Really nice!!

Well, I liked it a lot, it's difficult to climb to the top but I managed it.

We went to see the evening light show and so pleased we did. A well put together show of light, music, and visuals highlighting St Paul's. The different coloured light gave such an amazing extra dimension to the inside of the cathedral. The combination of moving light and shadow with music created a very dramatic ethereal atmosphere. What really stood out for me were the decorated ceilings and cartoons, the mosaics glistened in the light which added an otherworldly depth not seen in natural light really showing off the work of G Watts and Blake. I find St Paul's can have a bit of a cold overly sombre engineered feeling to its structure and the light show gave it a warm and life and made it a place to celebrate and connect to christ.

What great illuminations in this cathedral. Worth a visit. However it is still worth a visit anytime. Now accessible in a wheelchair. Report back from my residents I care for said the guides that help them in wheelchairs and did a great job.

Fabulous view from the top of the dome..

Whispering gallery was amazing,look out for free guided tours.

Expensive ticket, but an impressive and magnificent church worth visiting! (Climb the stairs for the view.) ✨✨

St. Paul's Cathedral is an absolute masterpiece and a must-visit when in London. From the moment you approach its grand facade, you're struck by its architectural beauty and historical significance. The interior is equally breathtaking, with its stunning dome, intricate mosaics, and awe-inspiring Whispering Gallery. Climbing to the top of the dome is a bit of a workout, but the panoramic views of London from the Golden Gallery are worth every step! The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and the audio guide provided fascinating insights into the cathedral's history, including its role during World War II and its importance in British culture. Visit early in the morning to avoid crowds and take your time exploring every corner of this magnificent building.

A must sea London highlight! Very cool to go up with all the staircases up to the dome with stunning views of the city

Touring the Cathedral is evoking the past, with its history and art it is an experience like no other.

The church is beautiful, but I think it is excessive to charge almost £30 to enter.

Diana and Charles' wedding cathedral. The church is also known for its dome with the "Whispering Gallery" (you can hear people whispering on the other side of the dome if you stand up in the dome), its mosaics and the view of London.

Beautiful! After seeing everything else, this is by far the best and must-see!

I donno, maybe it just wasn’t for us.

Very beautiful cathedral, we feel that the last renovation is recent. Impressive to do plus at arrival time there was a choir singing which was really nice. It's a place to see when you come to the London capital, a real pleasure to discover this place.
