• April 1, 2025

Quote: St Paul's Cathedral is quite possibly the most beautiful building in London. We lived within a half-hour walk of St Paul's for several months, and on some days I ended up walking home from the bus-stop near the Cathedral, I can't recall why, now,... Read the full St Paul's Cathedral review

Checking out the deceased

• 4 out of 5 stars by MichaelJM from Nottingham, England
• August 31, 2025

Quote: We climbed down the steps to the lowest part of the Cathedral. St Paul’s crypt is the largest in Europe and is the "final resting place" for many of the nation’s greatest heroes, poets and scientists - people must have made an outstanding... Read the full St Paul's Cathedral review

A climb to the three galleries and the view....

• 5 out of 5 stars by MichaelJM from Nottingham, England
• August 30, 2025

Quote: It’s a fair old climb up to the top of St Paul’s but the end result is well worth the effort. The cost is included in the admission price to the Cathedral. All four of us took the 257 steps up to the whispering gallery. We’re still well under the... Read the full St Paul's Cathedral review

• August 30, 2025

Quote: It’s years and years ago (over 40 to be clear) that I made my one and only visit to St Paul’s Cathedral and my recall of it is somewhat hazy. So as we were to spend a couple of days, taking in a show or two, we decided to check out this great... Read the full St Paul's Cathedral review

St Paul's history and our approach to this iconic building

• 5 out of 5 stars by MichaelJM from Nottingham, England
• August 29, 2025

Quote: There’s been a cathedral on this site since 604 and the first cathedral, dedicated to St Paul, was built by the Saxons. This wooden construction was burnt down and destroyed by the Vikings in 675. The replacement church was a sturdier affair being... Read the full St Paul's Cathedral review

St. Paul's Cathedral

• 5 out of 5 stars by lavenderdays from El Segundo, California
• May 5, 2025

Quote: Once you step inside St. Paul’s Cathedral…It’s difficult to capture the enormity of this cathedral on camera. Perhaps it's better to just sit back and experience the beauty of it all. It’s so incredibly lavish and ornate inside! Probably one of... Read the full St Paul's Cathedral review

Don't Miss St Paul's

• 5 out of 5 stars by Abby071 from London, United Kingdom
• October 27, 2025

Quote: St Paul’s Cathedral is one of the most beautiful of London's sights. The dome dominates the London skyline and if the mood takes you, you can climb the 530 steps to the Golden Gallery. Want to keep the kids quiet? Try getting them to practise their... Read the full St Paul's Cathedral review

St Paul's Cathedral

• 5 out of 5 stars by callen60 from Ozarks, Missouri
• June 1, 2025

Quote: If St. Paul’s wasn’t emblematic of London before World War II, the Blitz certainly fixed that. The famous images of Wren’s dome rising seemingly unhurt out of the surrounding fires and smoke, made it the embodiment of London’s resistance to the... Read the full St Paul's Cathedral review

• April 11, 2025

Quote: On Ludgate Hill, at the end of The Strand, you come around a turn in the road and this huge domed building looms out at you amid the busy traffic. St. Paul's Cathedral was finished in 1710, built after the great fire of London in 1666 burned down... Read the full St Paul's Cathedral review
