Built between 1675 and 1710, St Paul’s Cathedral is widely considered to be crowning achievement of the glittering career of Sir Christopher Wren.

Its iconic dome dominates the London skyline and visitors with a head for heights can climb the 530 steps (85 metres) from the Cathedral floor to the Golden Gallery for breathtaking, panoramic views of the capital. St Paul's Cathedral's is probably the most magnificent of all London church tours.

The Whispering Gallery at this London cathedral is famous for its acoustics and is 30 metres above the cathedral floor, while below, in the elegant and spacious crypt, are the tombs and memorials of such historical luminaries as Admiral Lord Nelson and the Duke Of Wellington.

A £40 million programme of cleaning and repair work to coincide with the 300th anniversary of St Paul’s Cathedral has transformed the interior of the building. London visitors to the cathedral can see the difference created, with the creamy Portland stone, dazzling Byzantine-style mosaics and highly intricate carving that the cleaning has revealed.
