What visitors say

Nikolai Nikolov

St Paul's Cathedral was one of the highlights of our trip to London. The architecture is absolutely breathtaking, both inside and out, and the level of detail throughout the building is truly remarkable. Climbing to the dome was well worth the effort, as the views over London are spectacular and provide a unique perspective of the city. The atmosphere inside the cathedral is peaceful and inspiring, making it a wonderful place to spend time whether you are interested in history, architecture, or simply looking for a moment of reflection. The staff and volunteers were friendly and helpful, and the entire site is exceptionally well maintained. The audio guide was informative and added a lot of context to the experience. A must-visit landmark in London. Beautiful, historic, and unforgettable – I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city.

St Paul's Cathedral is one of London's most famous landmarks and the seat of the Bishop of London. Designed by Sir Christopher Wren, it was completed in 1710 after the Great Fire of London destroyed the previous cathedral. The cathedral is renowned for its magnificent dome, one of the largest in the world. Visitors can explore the beautiful interior, climb to the Whispering Gallery, Stone Gallery, and Golden Gallery for spectacular panoramic views of London, and visit the crypt where famous figures such as Admiral Nelson and the Duke of Wellington are buried.

A lovely place to visit. I highly recommend joining the Highlights Tour and the Crypt Tour, which are included with the ticket. Our highlights tour guide was a delightful lady (unfortunately I’ve forgotten her name). She presented the history of the cathedral with such enthusiasm, and it was an absolute pleasure listening to her. Climbing the stairs is not an easy task, but the views of London from the top are amazing and definitely worth the effort. The ticket costs £27, which includes both tours as well as the climb. The crypt is located downstairs and runs the whole length of the building. It is the final resting place for many famous historical figures, poets, and painters. There is plenty to see and do, making it easy to spend a whole day exploring.

What a wonderful place to visit. People complain about the price of the ticket but the cathedral is self funded and apparently it costs £16millions to keep it open. All staff were lovely, we climbed all the way up to the golden gallery where we had the best 360 view of London. Also the whispering gallery was breathtaking. So much history and things to see all in one place.
