What

What does the tour involve?

St Paul’s Cathedral’s stunning Baroque interior is 500 years younger than Westminster Abbey, but there has been a cathedral dedicated to St Paul on the same site for over 1,400 years. The current one is the masterpiece of Britain’s greatest architect Sir Christopher Wren. Made by hand from almost a million tonnes of Portland stone. Incredibly, Wren’s masterpiece was completed in the architect’s lifetime. Lady Diana married (the then) Prince Charles here, as it is such a stunning backdrop. Some of the best uninterrupted views in London are from the dome as they are protected by an Act of Parliament.

Where

What will I see?

  • The crypt with its imposing tombs of Duke of Wellington and Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson – Britain’s greatest military masterminds.
  • The magnificent West Front whose sculpture tells the story of St Paul’s conversion on the road to Damascus
  • The famous Dome of St Paul’s is heavier than a fully laden Titanic, which includes the famous ‘Whispering Gallery’. Test it out by facing the wall on the opposite end of the dome to your partner. And whisper sweet nothings. They will hear you!
  • Climb the 532 steps to ‘The Golden Gallery’ and be rewarded by a sublime 360-degree view of London’s skyline.
  • The beautiful and poignant American Chapel is dedicated to the US servicemen killed during WW2 whilst based in the United Kingdom.
