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

The St. Paul Wall cathedral was big & busy.

It's definitely worth it to get a ticket here and seeing the beautiful architecture in real life is truly something sublime

Impressive cathedral, unique architecture, a bit pricey entry. A must-see is the climb to the top.

Beautiful spot in the centre of London.

Magnificent and solemn, it is a dome church that represents Britain!

Magnificent. And the staff is so kind...

Grand, beautiful and splendid cathedral that's worth every minute spent there. Jane gave us an amazing and informative guided tour and shared interesting trivia about the origins, foundation and current day workings of the cathedral. 10/10 recommendation for anyone visiting London.

Another magnificent landmark in London, beautiful architecture, a must see. We were there on a weekday afternoon in May, it was not very busy. The views from the Millennium Bridge were gorgeous.

It's impressive to see her live.

Didn't get to go I but outside and gardens are worth a visit

Only my second visit in 20 years. Sadly for me and any other handicapped person the lift to the "Whispering gallery" for staff use only but we did get a key for lift access to the crypt. That's where tea and scones are available too. Otherwise St. Paul's is it's spectacular self as ever.

My group did not go inside, but it was nice learning about the history of the cathedral.

It is an Anglican cathedral. This is the second one. The first one was ruined centuries ago. This is the current one. It has an atrium, choir stalls, organ, and side aisles. It has a very old and beautiful dome with paintings and images of saints. Here in its crypts are the heroes who gave their lives for the United Kingdom, and famous people like Wellington, Admiral Nelson, and Sir Isaac Newton. With your ticket, you are given an audiovisual device in your language that explains the details of its construction and history. It has a gift shop in the basement, restrooms, and a cafeteria. It is most famous because Prince Charles (now King) married Diana here. Beautiful images

Beautiful evensong services especially if you sit in the choir gallery.

Masterpiece, recommended. Tickets bought online but can be done directly inside the church, no long wait. Headset included in the ticket.

St. Paul's Cathedral, London St. Paul's Cathedral is undoubtedly one of London's most iconic monuments and a landmark of European architecture. Situated atop Ludgate Hill, the highest point in the historic city, it stands as a testament to resilience, faith, and creative genius over more than three centuries. History and Context Medieval Origin: A Christian building of worship has stood on the same site since the 7th century. The Norman cathedral, completed in the 12th century, was burned in the Great Fire of London (1666). Baroque Reconstruction: The architect Sir Christopher Wren was commissioned to design the new cathedral. Construction lasted from 1675 to 1710, marking a milestone in the transition from English Baroque Classicism. Symbol of resistance: During the Blitz of World War II, the cathedral miraculously survived German bombing, becoming an emblem of hope for the London population. Architecture and design West facade Double Corinthian colonnade and two imposing bell towers. Statue of St. Paul above the portico, flanked by allegorical figures of Justice and Truth. Main dome At 111 meters high, it was the tallest in the world at the time and remains the second tallest today after St. Peter's Basilica. Double-shell structure: viewed from both the interior (with stunning frescoes by Sir James Thornhill) and the exterior. Whispering Gallery: At 30 meters high, it allows a whisper on the wall to be audible across the circle, over 34 meters away. Floor Plan and Crypt The floor plan is in the shape of a Latin cross, with a wide nave and harmonious transepts. The crypt houses monuments and tombs of figures such as Horatio Nelson and the Duke of Wellington.

Just as impressive as St Paul's Cathedral

Imposing, graceful, it is very large, on many levels, you can climb to the top where you have an extraordinary panorama, there are only stairs so warm up beforehand. Grandiose if I haven't said it before, very beautiful architecturally, I highly recommend it.

We went to the Cathedral for Choral Evensong at 5 p.m. It's a wonderful church, well worth a visit, and the service was very beautiful.

Beautiful Cathedral! They do allow photos but be respectful of when are where because it is a functioning place of worship. To see the whole cathedral and do the audio tour, you will need about 3 to 4 hours. The "hike" up to the three galleries can be difficult for little ones or the elderly. The steps get narrow and steep at a few places, but the views are worth the effort. The exit is through the crypt where there is also a gift shop and small cafe with delicious sandwiches.

St. Paul’s Cathedral is a truly impressive sight in London, with its grand architecture and rich history making it a must-see destination. I enjoyed exploring both the interior and exterior, admiring the intricate details and the stunning dome. The atmosphere inside is peaceful and inspiring, perfect for a moment of reflection. It was wonderful to capture the beauty of the cathedral through my camera, and I took several pictures to remember the experience. Whether you’re interested in history, architecture, or simply beautiful places, St. Paul’s Cathedral does not disappoint. I highly recommend a visit to anyone in the city.

St. Paul’s Cathedral is stunning both inside and out. The architecture is amazing, and the view from the dome is totally worth the climb. A must-visit when in London.

Very high entrance fee for a church. I think it was around 25 pounds sterling. The side chapel is free but boring. Nice building from the outside.

Took the short tour which was excellent. Saw the highlights - secret staircase, tombs, whispering gallery and up through the domes to the top

Incredible to look at from the outside, horrendous that it’s nearly £30 for an adult to go inside

A fascinating cathedral, organ and choir. I recommend visiting. Be sure to climb the steps to the very top - an unforgettable experience guaranteed.

It’s Big, It’s a Cathedral. Not quite Cathedral City but the next best thing !

Beautiful cathedral with stunning architecture! Go to the top of the dome -- a real hike up some stairs but well worth the effort!

Majestic and peaceful – a must-see in London We visited St. Paul's Cathedral late on a Sunday morning in early May, during a lovely family walk from Tower Bridge, following the Thames on foot and then crossing the Millennium Bridge. A superb and very pleasant pedestrian route, which leads naturally to this majestic cathedral. When we arrived, there were no queues, apart from the security check, and admission was free that day (we later learned that this wasn't always the case, so it was a nice surprise). The interior is absolutely magnificent: every corner is full of details, impressive volumes, and sublime decor. Photography is prohibited inside, which undoubtedly reinforces the feeling of calm, contemplation, and respect for the place. A place steeped in history, imposing yet peaceful, where young and old alike were impressed. A must-see in London, whether you're a believer or simply curious about architecture and history.

The most beautiful church, where Princess Diana and Prince Charles got married in.

Brilliant, staff lovely and as a londoner the history is mind blowing plus the views from the top of thw dome are unbelievable

Amazing, beautiful, historical.

Always a beautiful place to visit and the climb to the top gallery outside is worthwhile for a spectacular view of London.

Climbed up the cathedral and go to see London from a great vantage point. The interior was beautiful.

I didn't get to go in. It's beautiful from the outside.

Magnificent cathedral, a little expensive to enter though

Very beautiful building that I would have liked to visit

Definitely a must-see in London. Massive cathedral. Soaring spaces. Incredible acoustics. You have to purchase tickets for admission, however if you attend one of the several worship services offered each week/day, you don't need to pay. You aren't allowed to take photos or videos during the worship service but you have time to snap a few after it finishes before they usher you out and let the paying customers back in. Even-song service at 3pm is lovely and showcases the acoustics.

St. Paul's Cathedral is one of the most magnificent structures in London. This cathedral, which leaves its mark on the city's silhouette with its magnificent dome, is truly fascinating with its architecture. It was built by Sir Christopher Wren in the 17th century and has been one of the city's most important religious and historical symbols ever since. The first thing that catches your eye when you enter is the huge dome and the interior decorated with elegant details. It has excellent acoustics and a peaceful atmosphere. There are crypts at the bottom of the cathedral; here you can see the tombs of important figures such as Lord Nelson and Sir Winston Churchill. One of the most impressive parts is the stairs leading to the top of the dome. Climbing hundreds of steps is a bit tiring, but when you reach the top, you are greeted by a panoramic view of London. The view is especially magnificent near sunset. Taking photos inside is prohibited, but every corner is unforgettable. There is an entrance fee, but the architecture and historical value inside are definitely worth it. St. Paul's is not just a cathedral; it is also a point of history, art and peace. It is a must-see in London.

It's unbelievable that people don't list it as a must-see. The most beautiful cathedral I've ever seen.

It was really big and grand. I don't remember well because I've been to the cathedral so many times, but I remember them playing the big organ. The sound of the organ was so good. I sat on a chair and listened to the sound of the organ. To go up, you have to climb quite a few stairs. However, when you go up, there's an explanation of the ceiling painting, and I think you can go outside. I think it would be good for those who have time to spare.

Awesome cathedral and very friendly helpful tour guide

25 pounds entry fee. Too much, not worth it

Cathedral was beautiful of course, the rude security guard checking bags was not. I had a glass bottle of water in my hand and he tapped on it with his little pen saying throw it out or put it on the table. It is not appropriate to touch other people’s belongings. It’s fine not to permit glass but there is a way you should treat people. It’s not hard to say please. When I tried to put the bottle of water on the table he asked me why I can’t finish it instead. I finished the water seeing as it must’ve been too much for him to watch it.

St. Paul’s Cathedral is architecturally stunning. The building is absolutely beautiful—the details both inside and out, from the ceilings to the columns to the stained glass windows, are truly mesmerizing. That said, if you’re not particularly interested in monarchy-related history or religious context, there’s no need to spend too much time there or visit the crypt. I’d recommend it more as a short, visually impressive stop rather than a deep dive.

Why haven't I been before?? Well worth it, Beautiful, Interesting on the inside and on the outside, especially the views of London! Amazing!

The visit up the whispering gallery and dome is not for the faint hearted, but definitely worth it, if you are able.

Very beautiful cathedral, a must-see in London

Iconic landmark. Worth a visit just to soak in and appreciate the scale it.

A fascinating historical site, definitely worth the entrance fee. You should be in good shape to get to the top. But it's worth it even without climbing the domes.

We just visited the surrounding park to relax. It was very nice and quiet.

Couldn't enter it due to short time and big queue

The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Forsaken is identical to this one, only it is a different cult

Wonderful experience so much history and to climb to the top was really worth it the views were wonderful

Very beautiful Cathedral. Get ready to walk to the view the dome. Breathe taking

Great landmark I always know where I am when I’m here, not France

It's a huge cathedral and looks really amazing even from just the outside.

Architecture at its best Got to be one of the best buildings in London Magnificent inside and outside Long line to enter but worth the wait Steeped in history Good public transport links

I attended the service and it was really good and if you can’t spend the money but still wanna visit this cathedral I would suggest you to check out the evening service timings and which day it’s open and attend a free service.

Beautiful build and a very nice view over Londen.

If you arrive at the Sunday service, you can enter for free. We also listened to the choir, there was a pleasant atmosphere. Taking photos is prohibited, the staff warns you so try to take them accordingly :)

Absolutely stunning! Magnificent!

Beautiful cathedral that must be visited.

There is no more beautiful church than this one I've ever seen. Fantastic.🥰

Mother church of the Anglican Diocese of London, the imposing building is considered the masterpiece of the architect Christopher Wren. Also worth a visit is the dome, from which you can admire a breathtaking view of London from above

£28.60 to enter to pray to the Lord

The cathedral is very beautiful from the outside, The cost to enter is in my opinion excessive (29 Pounds) considering that St. Peter's Basilica (you only pay to access the dome) and many churches in Rome are free, I consider the cost to be beyond all logic and scope.

Impressive building, a work of art and an adventure to climb to the dome via the steep spiral staircase of 529 steps

Beautiful building -did not do any official tour

Beautiful as ever. There is a real sense of awe and spectacle inside, and the countless statues, commemorations and such make it a fascinating adventure. Don't forget to climb to the top to get the best views 😜

Very beautiful building, its architecture very fine and imposing.

Incredible and beautiful architecture.

I only viewed the outside of the cathedral. It’s an incredibly impressive cathedral, very ornate and impressive. I didn’t realise how big it was. I’d definitely recommend a visit

Amazing place to visit. The architecture , the vibe is surreal . Really felt mesmerizing

Excellent views pleasure to have been here

Place visited was College of Arms. It is near St Paul's Church on way to Millenium bridge. It is a very special institution which creates arms and coats flags for various govt and private authorities. It is like a trade symbol which stands for that authority. It cannot replicated or used by anybody else.

Easy to reach and not crowded I reached it after closing. Not sure how it is gonna go with parking

I’m not a Christian and never will be but the architecture is worth a visit. 26£ for a ticket is alot but also worth it.

Stunning, bigger than what I thought , didn't go in as it was £28:50 per adult ..and I don't pay to see the house of the Lord !

Very nice place to visit during the morning!

You pay to get in but if you are faithful you don't pay. We didn't go in. From the outside it is very beautiful.

Beautiful building, the shop is free to visit, the entrance fee to the Cathedral itself is really too high, but that is personal

Unmissable views of London from the top of the dome. Not suitable for people with physical limitations or a fear of heights. I recommend visiting Nelson and Wellington in the crypt before leaving.

A Breathtaking Landmark Full of History and Beauty St. Paul’s Cathedral is truly one of London’s most iconic and awe-inspiring landmarks. From the moment you approach it, the architecture is absolutely stunning – the grand dome and intricate details are even more impressive in person than in pictures. Inside, the cathedral is just as breathtaking. The artwork, mosaics, and sheer scale of the space create a peaceful, almost magical atmosphere. Climbing up to the Whispering Gallery and further to the Golden Gallery is well worth the effort – the views over London from the top are simply unforgettable. Beyond the beauty, there’s a deep sense of history that runs through the entire place. Whether you’re interested in architecture, British heritage, or just looking for a moment of quiet reflection, St. Paul’s offers something special. The staff and volunteers were also very helpful and knowledgeable, adding to the experience with interesting insights. Highly recommended for both locals and visitors – it’s a must-see when in London.

A place steeped in history, magnificent!

A place to recommend A magnificent visit

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!

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

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.

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.

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

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

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!!!

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

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

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.

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.
